Prevalence of intra-articular mineralization on knee computed tomography: the multicenter osteoarthritis study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this work was to report the prevalence of computed tomography (CT)-detected intra-articular mineralization.

Design

We included participants from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) Study. At the 12th year visit of the MOST study, bilateral knee CTs were first obtained. All participants also had posteroanterior and lateral radiographs of bilateral knees and completed standard questionnaires. Knee radiographs were assessed for Kellgren & Lawrence grade (KLG) and radiographic evidence of intra-articular mineralization. CT images were scored using the Boston University Calcium Knee Score (BUCKS) for cartilage, menisci, ligaments, capsule, and vasculature. Prevalence of intra-articular mineralization was computed for the total sample, and stratified by age,
