Morphologic MRI findings related to new pain development over a period of 4 years Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative

This longitudinal study identified morphological MRI findings correlated with development of new pain over a period of 4 years in the knees of subjects at risk for osteoarthritis. The following findings were significantly associated with pain: baseline medial tibial cartilage pathology, baseline medial meniscus body pathology, incident effusion, and progressive patella cartilage pathology. Trends suggested an association of the following findings with pain: baseline medial tibia bone marrow edema pattern, medial femoral condyle bone marrow edema pattern at 4 years, and anterior medial meniscus pathology at 4 years. These associations may help radiologists to better guide clinical treatment.
