Swärd P et al. – This study demonstrated radiological differences between post-traumatic and non-traumatic OA.

• Non-traumatic cohort
• 155 patients suffering from chronic knee pain without known major injuries
• Compared with a post-traumatic cohort of 176 patients
• All had sustained an ACL injury while playing soccer
• Standardized weight-bearing knee radiography of the tibiofemoral joint performed
• Joint space narrowing (JSN) and osteophytes graded according to the radiographic atlas of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International
