Radiological grading of knee osteoarthritis: a comparative study

ABSTRACT

Radiographic examination plays an important role in diagnosis and assessment of osteoarthritis; in this respect, plain radiography remains the standard method despite the introduction of modern imaging techniques. There are still no undisputable criteria for this purpose; many sets have been proposed. The suggested [scoring method] seems to provide a valuable alternative with comparable efficacy, better discrimination of the degenerative changes with minimal inter-observer error
