Meniscus position and size in knees with versus without structural knee osteoarthritis progression: data from the osteoarthritis initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore whether and which quantitative 3D measures of medial and/or lateral meniscus position and size are associated with subsequent medial femorotibial structural progression of knee osteoarthritis and to determine the correlation between central slice and total meniscus measures.

Materials and methods

Knees with radiographic osteoarthritis from Osteoarthritis Initiative participants with longitudinal medial MRI-based cartilage thickness and radiographic joint space width (JSW) loss over 12 months were selected. These 37 structural progressor knees (64.7 ± 8.0y, 30.2 ± 4.6 kg/m², 35% men) were matched 1:1 to 37 non-progressor knees (64.6 ± 9.8y, 30.2 ± 4.4 kg/m², 35% men) without cartilage thickness or JSW loss. Quantitative measures of m
