| Research Abstract |
We analyzed subchondral trabecular bone microstructure of osteoarthritis of the knee (OA) using high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As OA progressed, trabecular thickness of subchondral trabecular bone increased in medial joint and decreased in lateral joint. We thought that the analysis of subchondral trabecular bone microstructure could be a new index for the evaluation of OA.
