Abstract
greater in healthy women (1.82±1.03mm) than in healthy men (1.19mm±1.26mm; p < 0.01). Conclusions: The ratio between meniscus surface area and (ipsicompartimental) tibial bone area may provide a useful measure for comparing meniscus size across different cohorts with mixed sexes, for instance when testing whether knees with OA display meniscus hypertrophy. Although tibial plateau coverage by the meniscus is similar in healthy men and women, medial meniscus extrusion was greater in women, which may provide potential clues as to why women are at greater risk of symptomatic knee OA than men.
