Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Pain in the knee is measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months<br> 2. Function of the knee is measured using Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Matrix synthesis in the cartilage layer (glycosaminoglycan content) delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI (dGEMRIC) imaging technique is applied at the baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months.<br> 2. Changes in IgG glycosylation associated with inflammatory processes analyses of IgG glycom from the blood plasma and synovial fluid (when available) is performed at baseline, 6 and 12 months<br> 3. Subchondral bone edema, morphology of cartilage and soft tissues is measured by MRI scans at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months<br>
