Summary of medial meniscus extrusion and cartilage thickness in each subregion for Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1–3 compared to KL grade 0. Medial meniscus and cartilage subregions are color-coded according to p-values. The MME width was similar to KL grade 0 in KL grade 1, but greater than KL grade 0 in KL grade 2 and KL grade 3; it was significantly greater in KL grade 3 than in KL grade 2. The femoral cartilage was significantly thinner in the acMF in KL grade 1, further in the aiMF in KL grade 2, and more so in four surrounding subregions in KL grade 3 when compared to KL grade 0. Conversely, the femoral cartilage was thicker in the peMF in KL grade 2 and 3 than in KL grade 0. The tibial cartilage was significantly thinner in the meMT and aeMT in KL grade 1, more so in the mcMT and acMT in KL grade 2, and even more so in peMT in KL grade 3 when compared to KL grade 0.
