CT-derived proximal tibial bone density imbalance is associated with knee osteoarthritis
Knees with OA were associated with asymmetric remodeling patterns of the proximal tibia, including higher medial subchondral density and lower metaphyseal bone density, suggestive of a compartmental imbalance. CT-derived HU values, along with absolute and relative compartmental differences, may serve as exploratory radiologic markers to support OA risk stratification.
