Elisabeth Bandak, Marius Henriksen, Mikael Boesen

Summary

In patients with knee OA retrospective data on Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) of the thigh and knee, systemic markers (blood samples, synovial fluids), assessments of mobility (muscle strength, Six-minute walk test, and biomechanical gait analysis) will be analyzed. Further, patient reported outcomes on pain, symptoms, and physical function in patients is acquired using questionnaires are available and will be included in the analyses.
