Pre-operative MRI. All patients were evaluated using 3 tesla MRI machine (Trio, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) and 15-channel transmit-receive birdcage knee coil. Sagittal planes two-dimensional (2D) T1 weighted (W) turbo spin-echo (TSE), 2D T2W gradient-echo (GRE), three-dimensional (3D) proton density W (3D-PDW), 3D short tau inversion recovery (3D-STIR), 3D volume-interpolated breath-hold examination (3D-VIBE), 3D-T2* mapping (A) and postcontrast 3D-T1 dGEMRIC (B) images were obtained. Radiological features of the defect included areas were thicker than native cartilage, rich in water, glycosaminoglycan content decreased and the adjacent bone had an apparent edema on 3T MRI images especially on 3D T1 and T2 mapping images.
