Abstract
The marked elevation of markers in samples obtained from cancellous bone pointed at increased turnover in both diseases when compared to healthy individuals. In line with histologic findings of necrosis of subchondral bone, focal degradation of collagen type I was more pronounced in knees with ON. Mean serum concentrations of all markers, however, were not different from healthy individuals and thus did not provide any useful clue in the diagnosis spontaneous ON.
