Frequency and mutual associations of knee osteoarthritis features on ultrasound imaging in recent-onset symptomatic knee osteoarthritis patients: A cross-sectional analysis in a convenience sample of Dutch patients
Nearly all recent-onset symptomatic osteoarthritic knees exhibit at least one US-detectable KOA-associated feature. This underlines that even in KOA patients with short duration of pain, significant changes are already evident on US, offering potential support for earlier intervention and more targeted management strategies.
