Interventions
Approximately 72000, 20-40 my-meter diameter, sterilised gold particles (=20 mg) will be provided in vials (The Berlock® Gold Implants). 5-10 ml of synovial fluid is aspirated (20G needle) from most affected OA-knee. The vial of gold particles are mixed with the synovial fluid, and the mix of gold and synovial fluid is injected intra-articularly into the patients knee.
