Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with osteoarthritis of the knee undergo visible joint changes in radiology and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests, but also clinically and histologically. The area of greatest change is at the subchondral/cartilage bone junction.

Investigators will determine the association between preoperative clinical evaluation (IKDC and Womac scores), radiological classifications and histopathology.

In addition, the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is being given major interest, and inflammation is closely linked with vascularization. It was recently demonstrated that dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) could identify the subchondral bone marrow vascularization changes occurring in osteoarthritis in animals.

These changes appeared before cartilage lesions were visible and were correlated with osteoarthritis severity. Thus the opportunity to obtain an objective assessment of bone vascularization in non-invasive conditions in humans might help better understanding osteoarthritis pathophysiology and finding new biomarkers. Investigators hypothesized that, as in animals, DCE-MRI has the ability to identify subchondral bone marrow vascularization changes in human osteoarthritis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Knee osteoarthritis

Patients with knee osteoarthritis, classified Kellgren-Lawrence 3 or 4, with asymmetric femorotibial joint space narrowing that will follow a surgery for a prosthetic replacement of the knee wil follow the following interventions:

* Clinical evaluation
* Radiographic assessment of osteoarthritis
* Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
* Histological evaluation of the surgical piece

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients will be examined using a 3T MR scanner (MR 750W, General Electrics, Milwaukee, WI) with a dedicated knee coil. Subchondral bone marrow vascularization in medial and lateral femorotibial compartments will be assessed with DCE-MRI and lesions will be graded on MR images.

Evaluation of histological status

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Upper tibial resection pieces will be collected and the vascularization will be determined according to the OARSI score

Clinical evaluation

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Functional scores for the pathological joint will be determined

Radiology
