Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Images and Weight-Bearing Radiographs in Patients With Arthroscopic-Proven Medial Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

Conclusions: Magnetic resonance images presented higher specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy than weight-bearing radiographs for knee osteoarthritis. The combination of radiographs and MRI did not improve the diagnostic accuracy, compared with MRI alone. PMID: 32843843 [PubMed]
