We noted in our previous investigations the positive correlation between higher grades of ALVAL and larger joint fluid collections at revision.6 In order to investigate a potential synergistic effect between ALVAL and fluid development, two groups of patients were selected from the data. The first consisted of patients with both severe ALVAL and large fluid collections. The second was composed of patients with no/mild/moderate ALVAL with small fluid collections. The regression models were repeated, this time directly comparing these two groups.
