Abstract
In middle-aged women without clinical knee disease, higher uCTX-II levels were associated with early detrimental structural changes at the knee (cartilage defects, tibial bone expansion and BMLs) at baseline but not over 2 years. Further work will be needed to determine its sensitivity to change and whether it predicts disease progression over longer time periods.
