Fascia Lata Alterations in Hip Osteoarthritis: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study

The present study compares the structure and composition of fascia lata in healthy subjects and in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), to evaluate any differences in the amount of Collagen type I, Collagen type III, and Hyaluronan. Fascia lata samples from voluntary healthy subjects and patients...

Fascia lata samples from voluntary healthy subjects and patients with OA were harvested during surgery. Collagen type I (COL I), III (COL III) antibody, and biotinylated hyaluronan binding protein (HABP) immunohistochemistry stainings were used to evaluate fascial morphology and COL I, COL III, and Hyaluronan (HA) content in both groups.

COL III, with median values of 9.5 (IQR 3.63)% (OA group) and 17.10 (IQR 11)% (control cases), respectively, showed significant reduction in OA patients (<i>p =</i> 0.002).

The observed increase in COL I in OA patients, along with the reduction of COL III and HA, could lead to fascial stiffening, which could alter fascial mechanics and be linked to the development and symptoms of OA.Ilaria FantoniCarlo BizChenglei FanCarmelo PirriCaterina FedeLucia PetrelliPietro RuggieriRaffaele De CaroCarla SteccoMDPI AGarticlefasciahip osteoarthritishyaluronancollagenstiffnessmyofascial painScienceQENLife, Vol 11, Iss 1136, p 1136 (2021)
