The Larsen score for the large joints improved in 11 cases (28%), remained unchanged in 8 cases (20%), and worsened in 21 cases (52%). Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) levels remained significantly higher (278 mg\/dl) in patients with worsened Larsen scores than in patients with improved or unchanged scores (65 mg\/dl).
