Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The following parameters will be compared between pre-, 1 year, and 2 years<br /><br>post treatment for KJD and pre- and 2 years post treatment for HTO:<br /><br>1. the change in cartilage *proteoglycan content*<br /><br>2. the change in *collagen content/distribution*<br /><br>3. the change in *bone marrow lesions*<br /><br>4. the change in *3D bone density*<br /><br><br /><br>And secondary:<br /><br>1. is there a mutual relation between quantitative cartilage and bone changes<br /><br>2. is there a relation between qualitative cartilage and bone changes with<br /><br>those of quantitative changes in the cartilage as measured in the original RCTs.<br /><br>3. is there a relation of (combinations of) changes in qualitative and<br /><br>quantitative parameters of bone and cartilage to clinical benefit of KJD and<br /><br>HTO</p><br>
