Meniscal degeneration among knees without radiographic osteoarthritis correlates with changes in disease activity and subsequent cumulative damage: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative To explore the relationship between meniscal degeneration (intrameniscal signal alteration without a tear) and future osteoarthritis pathology as meas…

Meniscal degeneration was related to worsening disease activity earlier than articular cartilage damage among knees without radiographic osteoarthritis.

Contralateral Knee Osteoarthritis Severity Relates to Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Knees with and without Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative We explored whether a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based composite score of bone marrow lesion and effusion-synovitis volumes related to contralat…

Latest:

Effusion-synovitis and BML volumes are related to contralateral disease severity. This association is especially noticeable when assessing the contralateral knee for effusion-synovitis and BMLs instead of relying on radiographs.
