The associations among Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grade, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage thickness in knee osteoarthritis (OA) remain insufficiently understood. Our aim was to determine these associations in early to moderate medial tibiofemoral knee OA. We included 469 subjects with no l...
