• Serum levels of keratan sulphate (KS) were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent-inhibition assay on admission to hospital in 26 previously healthy young patients who had sustained fractures of the pelvis without involvement of the hips. The serum KS level was found to decrease during the period in hospital (5-6 weeks), but rose after return to ambulatory life (6-12 months). The results suggest that serum KS levels are related to rest.
