Diagram summarizing the prognostic value of typical subchondral signal intensity on T2-weighted sequences in SIF and SIF-ON. Note that in some cases, a very limited area with subchondral low T2 signal intensity is of doubtful prognosis and may progress either to healing or to SIF-ON. Without a particular event (meniscectomy or rapid cartilage degeneration for example), the evolution of a typical SIF towards a SIF-ON is very rare
