TL;DR
VQM using standard axial PD-FS MRI sequences demonstrate excellent reliability across raters, and this semi-automated approach may provide a relevant biomarker for monitoring EV in ACL research and rehabilitation trials.
Background: This study evaluated interreader agreement and longitudinal performance of MRI methods for knee cartilage volume, thickness, and defect-area quantification. Methods: AI-presegmented masks from 1,189 phase III examinations underwent independent correction by two readers and adjudication. Cartilage volume, th...
Objective assessment of anterior knee laxity (AKL) is important for evaluating graft integrity after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Automated arthrometers, such as the GNRB, provide reproducible measurements; however, the in vivo biomechanical meaning and validity of these measurements remain uncl...
Abstract Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading musculoskeletal disorder with a prevalence of 22–39% in India, representing approximately one-third of 500 million individuals affected globally. The epidemiological burden increased 2.66-fold from 23.46 million (1990) to 62.35 million (2019). Mechanical axis...
BACKGROUND The clinical significance of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) integrity in surgical planning for cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (CR TKA) remains unclear. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows assessment of the ACL status, its clinical relevance on postoperative outcomes has not been es...
This study aimed to evaluate both the relative and absolute reliability of ultrasound-based measurements of changes in medial knee joint space width under valgus stress in healthy individuals. Seventeen healthy adult males (34 knees) underwent ultrasound assessments under unloaded and valgus-loaded (10 Nm) conditions....
BACKGROUND To evaluate temporal changes in pericruciate fat pad (PFP) edema as a secondary MRI sign of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and to determine the diagnostic performance of secondary MRI findings in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. METHODS This retrospective study included 188 patients who un...
