Control synovial tissue was obtained from 30 patients without OA, 15 undergoing above\u2010knee amputation and 15 receiving a hip replacement for fracture. Before surgery, the radiographic findings were graded according to the Kellgren\u2010Lawrence system and clinical data including pain (VAS) and functional information (KOOS and HOOS) was collected. The tissue was stained with hematoxylin\u2013eosin and toluidine blue for histochemistry and incubated with CD117 and CD31 antibodies for immunohistochemistry.
