Regional dependency of sex differences in height-adjusted knee cartilage thickness in KL0 knees using 3D-MRI
Sex differences in cartilage thickness showed regional dependency in KL0 knees. While most regions showed thinner cartilage in females after height adjustment, the LT and P regions, characterized by greater cartilage thickness, showed no sex differences.
