<p>Effects of losartan and atorvastatin on the development of early posttraumatic joint stiffness in a rat model</p>

Abstract

Both atorvastatin and losartan reduced the number of myofibroblasts in the posterior knee joint capsule of rat knees 2 weeks after trauma and losartan increased the length of the inferior joint capsule. However, these changes at the cellular level did not translate an increase in range of motion of the rats´ knee joints during early contracture development.
