Empirical evaluation of the inter-relationship of articular elements involved in the pathoanatomy of knee osteoarthritis using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Table 2 Distribution of Disease Severity within the Study Cohort for Individual Articular Elements.

For all articular elements included in this table, the data are represented in terms of percentage of the total cohort having evidence of pathological changes of that type on MRI. Each row represents an individual articular element. Criteria for assessing the severity of each element (Cartilage, Osteophytes, Bone Marrow Lesions, Effusion, Synovitis and Subchondral Sclerosis) are given in Table 1.
