The objective of this study is to obtain and compare bilateral elbow joint synovial fluid
from patients with unilateral intraarticular elbow fracture and a contralateral healthy
appearing elbow joint. The synovial fluid samples will undergo several forms of analysis for
metabolites and proteins. Matched-pair statistical analysis will be performed to determine
the metabolites and proteins that may play the greatest role in development of joint
contracture.
