In conclusion, the clinical criteria of early OA are useful to categorize patients with knee conditions. The biochemical markers explored did not yield a differential pattern that can be associated with this classification. Serum NTX-I could be a useful marker of chronic meniscal lesion in future longitudinal studies, after adjusting for age and sex.
