The findings from the Bland–Altman analysis are presented as the average difference (bias) between the radiographic JSW and MRI cartilage thickness with the corresponding lower and upper limits of agreement for each sex and each compartment. In addition, the coefficient of determination, the (R2), and linear regression coefficients between radiographic JSW and MRI-based measurement of articular cartilage thickness in the ACLR and control groups are presented.
