  1. CI confidence interval, LTFJ lateral tibio-femoral joint (includes 5 subregions), MTFJ medial tibio-femoral joint (includes 5 subregions), PFJ patello-femoral joint (includes 4 subregions). Possible score range for each subregion at baseline and 12-month is 0–3 and 0–6 for bone marrow lesion and cartilage morphology, respectively
