Liverpool Musculoskeletal Biobank
The Biobank aims to facilitate musculoskeletal research. To support primarily research in the University of Liverpool. It will also support other research partners both nationally and internationally. A variety of musculoskeletal tissues are collected prospectively from consented patients undergoing both elective and trauma orthopaedic surgery. Patients demographic and medical history is obtained as well as outcome and quality of life assessment scores. We are able to collect all orthopaedic surgery waste products e.g. cartilage, bone, synovium, synovial fluid, adipose tissue, ligaments, muscle, capsule, bone marrow and venous blood samples.
