Repro. = Intra-operator reproducibility, as determined by the root mean square SD for test-retest in 4 knees; Diff. = difference; ACdABCov/ACdABUncov = ACdAB covered/uncovered with meniscus; Th = thickness of the menisci; Width = width of the menisci; TAUncov = TA of the meniscus not covering the tibial platea; Ex = extrusion; OvD = overlap distance; BulMean = mean bulging of the meniscus; Max = maximal.
