Multivariable association with PHMM RL tears after adjusting for BMI

Variable	β (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)	Conditional logistic regression Wald test P	Overall model R2	Model likelihood ratio test P*
Medial FPFC osteoarthritis (ICRS Grade 2 or higher)	2.47 (0.90, 4.03)	11.79 (2.46, 56.53)	0.002	0.21	<0.001
Lateral FPFC osteoarthritis (ICRS Grade 2 or higher)	1.10 (0.07, 2.12)	3.00 (1.07, 8.37)	0.036	0.11	0.004

PHMM RL, posterior horn of the medial meniscus root ligament; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; FPFC, far posterior femoral condyle; ICRS, International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Society.

^*Model Likelihood Ratio Test P value evaluates the joint simultaneous significance of BMI and PHMM RL tears for predicting osteoarthritis.
