The Hounsfield Unit Values of Talar Subchondral Bone Predict Articular Cartilage Degeneration in Patients With Ankle Osteoarthritis
Significant correlations between HU values and cartilage degeneration in ankle OA were noted. Measuring HU values on CT images can be useful for evaluating the joint surface condition, including histologic findings of the remaining cartilage.
