Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Knee Pain Phenotypesup to 12 months

The prevalence of the different knee pain phenotypes, provided by specific pain questionnaires. This will include the Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain Questionnaire (ICOAP), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and the PainDetect (for neuropathic pain).

Secondary Outcome Measures
