Unicompartmental versus bicompartmental joint space width measures: Which reflect whole joint structural damage better? Data from IMI-APPROACH
Associations between whole-joint cartilage and meniscal degeneration are similar for uni- and bicompartmental JSW, with bicompartmental JSW showing stronger correlations with KL grades. These findings support including both compartments in radiographic assessment to improve structural evaluation in KOA.
