Brief Summary

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

This is a diagnostic, open-label, single-center interventional study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between medial and lateral meniscus extrusion determined by dynamic ultrasound study and bone edema assessed by MRI study in patients with knee OA.

As a secondary objective, the correlation of the above parameters with the patient's symptomatology assessed by subject clinical questionnaires will be evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with a diagnosis of knee OA will be included in a study involving evaluation of the correlation between meniscal extrusion assessed by dynamic ultrasonography and bone edema assessed on MRI. A total of 202 patients will be included, who, after providing their signed informed consent to participate in the study, will undergo dynamic ultrasonography. After giving signed consent to participate in the study, the patient will undergo the following examinations::

* ultrasound evaluation for assessment of possible meniscal extrusion;
* At the same time as the ultrasound examination, subjective questionnaires will be administered to patients.Recent radiological examinations of the patients or from the patient's medical record will be collected during or before the diagnostic investigation.
