This work analyzes knee bone curvature from OAI data sets in patients with OA and predicts which subjects will advance to TKR within five years of the initial imaging. The MRI analysis is correlated with KL scores and all TKR subjects are compared with match controls who do not advance to TKR. The result is the development of a biomarker, based on MRI bone curvatre changes, for end-stage knee OA as defined by the need for TKR.
