3D-MRI evaluation of cartilage thickness changes and their location in the patellofemoral joint after open wedge high tibial osteotomy for knee osteoarthritis: A retrospective cohort study
Quantitative 3D-MRI analysis revealed significant cartilage thickness decreases after OWHTO, predominantly in the medial aspect of the PF joint. This method proved useful for evaluating postoperative PF joint changes and detecting cartilage defect locations.
