OBJECTIVE To determine predictors of disability depending on whether joint deformity and pain reporting exist independently or concurrently. METHODS Subjects were 154 volunteers for an osteoarthritis screening examination.

Clinical and Pathophysiologic Significance of MRI Identified Bone Marrow Lesions Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects the joint beyond just the articular cartilage. Specifically, magnetic resonance imagingidentifiedbone marrow lesions (BML) in the subchondral bone have both clinical and pathophysiological significance.Compared to joint space narrowing on traditional radiographs, the presence of BMLs has been better correlated withseverity of clinical symptoms ...

Prevalence of Radiographic Osteoarthritis of the Knee and Its Relationship to Self-Reported Pain
