“…Some scholars have studied the correlation between the degree of cartilage injury and knee joint pain, sti ness, and function WOMAC scores and found that the WOMAC scores of pain and function between di erent cartilage injury grades were statistically signi cant, while the WOMAC score of sti ness was not statistically signi cant [30]. ere was no signi cant di erence in WOMAC scores between the mild cartilage injury or normal group and the severe cartilage injury group [31].…”

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of articular cartilage and clinical symptoms in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Eighty patients with OA were selected as the study subjects (OA group) and 80 healthy subjects during the same period were also selected as the control group. All subjects underwent knee sagittal PDW-SPAIR, sagittal T1WI-aTSE, sagittal T2WI-TSE, coronal PDW-SPAIR, sagittal 3D-WATSc, and sagittal T2 mapping scans. Thereafter, all subjects underwent clinical assessment. The whole-organ MRI score (WORMS) was adopted for MRI examination and semiquantitative analysis, and the T2 value was calculated. The correlation among T2 value, WORMS, and Western Ontario and Mc Master University OA Index (WOMAC) was then compared and analyzed. The correlation coefficients between T2 values and WORMS in each sub-region of patients with OA were 0.8, 0.55, −0.038, 0.811, and 0.743; the correlation coefficients between WORMS and WOAMC were 0.66, 0.71, 0.46, and 0.88; and the correlation coefficients between T2 values and WOAMC were 0.483, 0.33, 0.282, and 0.636, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the results of MRI semiquantitative analysis and clinical symptoms as well as disease severity in patients with OA.

“…However, we choose the MRI of Recht grade as a result of it being able to assess soft tissue and KOA affects in the articular cartilage 28 , 29 . The primary approach currently available for KOA diagnosis is MRI, which aids in diagnosing KOA, determining KOA progression and prognosis, and monitoring treatment responses 30 . Using radiography alone to measure the loss of cartilage has limited clinical utility and only a modest correlation with symptom severity.…”

Objective: To classify the fabellae and discuss the relationship between the classification of fabellae and the severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in Chinese.Methods: From February 2019 to February 2020, 136 patients were measured and classified using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstruction. According to the CT imaging characteristics, the fabellae were divided into five types: type I, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle; type II, a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type III, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle and a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type IV, two fabellae on the medial femoral condyle; and type V, two fabellae on the lateral femoral condyle. The severity of KOA was assessed on the Recht grade by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The data were analyzed with SPSS 24.0. Results:The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades (χ 2 = 35.026, P < 0.05). In terms of KOA grades, grade I and grade II were occupied most by fabellar type II (32, 72.8%); type II and other types showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). Grade I and grade II were also mainly fabellar type IV (four, 100%). Fabellar type V's biggest component was grade III and grade IV (six, 75%). Type IV and type V showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion:The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades. The type II may mean the lower KOA grades while type V may mean the higher KOA grades.

Background: The fabella is a sesamoid bone having anatomical variations and it is more common in patients with primary keen osteoarthritis (KOA). The purpose of this study was to classify the fabellae and discuss the relationship between the classification of fabellae and the severity of KOA in Chinese. Material and methods: 136 patients were measured and classified using CT three-dimensional reconstruction. According to the CT imaging characteristics, the fabellae were divided into 5 types: type Ⅰ, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle; type Ⅱ, a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type Ⅲ, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle and a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type Ⅳ, two fabellae on the medial femoral condyle and type Ⅴ, two fabellae on the lateral femoral condyle. The severity of KOA was assessed on the Recht grade by MRI. The data were analyzed with SPSS 24.0. Results: The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades (c 2 =35.026, P<0.05). In terms of KOA grades, grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ were occupied most of fabellar type Ⅱ (32, 72.8%); type Ⅱ and other types were significant statistical difference (P<0.05). Grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ were also the most of fabellar type Ⅳ (4, 100%). Fabellar type Ⅴ’s biggest component were grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ (6, 75%). Type Ⅳ and type Ⅴ were significant statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades. The type Ⅱ may mean the lower KOA grades while type Ⅴ may mean the higher KOA grades. Trial registration: the Ethics Inspection Committee at Southwest Medical University, V1.0/20180801.
