Indication for Knee Arthroplasty by Cartilage Analysis
We retrospectively analyzed preoperative MRI of the knee using data from the OAI. Our results suggest the potential indication for UKA or BKA, which should be supported only when long-term results are expected, might increase by reviewing preoperative MRI findings including cartilage loss, ligamentous injury, bone marrow edema, and subchondral cyst.
