Italy202 participantsStarted 2021-03-23

Plain-language summary

This is a diagnostic, open-label, single-center interventional study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between medial and lateral meniscus extrusion determined by dynamic ultrasound study and bone edema assessed by MRI study in patients with knee OA. As a secondary objective, the correlation of the above parameters with the patient's symptomatology assessed by subject clinical questionnaires will be evaluated.
