Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research study aims to evaluate the synovial fluid to highlight the presence of possible micropolymers (micro/nanoplastics) in order to better understand the pathophysiology of joint degenerative processes. For patients with liquid under tension at the joint level, the symptomatology often requires evacuation by puncture under ultrasound guidance. The intervention will be performed only for patients for whom this therapeutic indication exists anyway by their physician.

The investigators want to use this liquid for Microscopic and Spectrophotometric evaluation.

Synovial fluid analysis

For patients with knee under tension at the joint level, the symptomatology often requires evacuation by puncture under ultrasound guidance. The intervention will be performed only for patients for whom this therapeutic indication exists anyway by their physicians.

After making the evacuation we will want to use this liquid for Microscopic and Spectrophotometric evaluation
