Abstract
Purpose: Osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) is a slowly progressive joint disease and a leading cause of impaired mobility in the elderly. Functional meniscus disorder and osteophyte formation has been a secondary phenomenon of the pathogenesis of knee OA, and medial meniscus extrusion (MME) is one of the important roles in the process of OA pathogenesis, but its pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. Histologically, osteophytes are composed of the cartilage and bone parts. Because of the limitation in detectability of the cartilage part of osteophytes by radiography or conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we have reported that the cartilage part of osteophytes can be detected by using T2 mapping MRI.
