OBJECTIVE: Identifying participants who will progress to advanced stage in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) trials remains a significant challenge. Current tools, relying on total knee replacements (TKR), fall short in reliability due to the extraneous fact...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model to identify the optimal situation wherein double-level osteotomy (DLO) is favored for severe varus knees by analyzing unfavorable outcomes. This study hypothesized that there are t...

BACKGROUND: An important aim of total knee arthroplasty is to achieve functional recovery, which includes post-operative increase in walking speed. Therefore, predicting whether a patient will walk faster or slower after surgery is important in TKA, ...

In this study, we investigated the discriminative capacity of knee morphology in automatic detection of osteophytes defined by the Osteoarthritis Research Society International atlas, using X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. For the X-r...
OBJECTIVE: This perspective describes the evolution of semi-quantitative (SQ) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in characterizing structural tissue pathologies in osteoarthritis (OA) imaging research over the last 30 years.
The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system is a scoring system for classifying the severity of knee osteoarthritis using X-ray images, and it is the standard X-ray-based grading system for diagnosing knee osteoarthritis. However, KL grading depends on...
Manual grading of cartilage histology images for investigating the extent and severity of osteoarthritis (OA) involves critical examination of the cell characteristics, which makes this task tiresome, tedious, and error prone. This results in wide in...
