Depth and location dependence of subchondral trabecular structure across the tibia in human osteoarthritic knee versus normal knee: a micro-CT study

Bouhadoun Hamid , Engelke Klaus , Laredo Jean Denis , Chappard Christine

Objective: To determine differences between osteoarthritic (OA) knees with normal knees for subchondral trabecular bone structure according to depth and location in the tibial plateau.Methods: In a population of 30 cadaveric left knees (18 women and 12 men, mean age: 79.1 years±8.2, range: 63–90) the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score was determined from post mortem radiographs: OA=KL≧2 (n=6 women, n=5 men) and controls=KL &#8804...
