Serum Mast Cell Tryptase as a Marker of Posttraumatic Joint Contracture in a Rabbit Model

OBJECTIVES:Mast cells have been identified as key mediators of posttraumatic joint contracture, and stabilizing medications (ketotifen) have been shown to decrease contracture severity. Serum mast cell tryptase (SMCT) levels are used clinically to monitor mast cell–mediated conditions. The goals of...
