Cartilage calcification is associated with histological degeneration of the knee joint: a highly prevalent, age-independent systemic process

To investigate if cartilage calcification (CC) is a systemic process, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and the amount of meniscal/hyaline CC of the knee joint in the general population by high-resolution imaging (DCR) and to evaluate the association between CC with cartilage degeneration and age.
