Bone marrow edema in the knee in osteoarthrosis and association with total knee arthroplasty within a three-year follow-up

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation exists between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of bone marrow edema (BME) in osteoarthrosis (OA) of the knee joint and need for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within a follow-up period of 3 years.
