However, it is well known that in OA the subchondral bone sclerosis and osteophyte formation appear parallel to cartilage degeneration [2,16], and it has been even suggested already in the 1986 by Radin and Rose that the initiation of the cartilage degradation can be driven by stiffening of the subchondral bone [17].
In vivo quantitative ultrasound image analysis of femoral subchondral bone in knee osteoarthritis
According to the grading system of knee osteoarthritis using standing radiographs, (2) which was modified from Ahlbach, the radiographic findings of osteoarthritis of the knee were classified into 6 grades: Grade 0, normal joint; Grade 1, bone sclerosis or osteophyte formation; Grade 2, narrowing of the joint space of less than 3 mm; Grade 3, obliteration of joint space or subluxation; Grade 4, defect of the tibial plateau of less than 5 mm; and Grade 5, defect of tibial plateau of more than 5 mm.
