Relationship Between Cartilage Lesions and Age, BMI, and Leg Dominance^a

	Ageb	BMI	Leg Dominancec
Stage of cartilage lesions of the tibiotalar joint	r S = 0.287 P = .013	P = .76	P = .66
Stage of cartilage lesions of the talonavicular joint	r S = 0.229 P = .05	P = .12	P = .23
BME of the talus	P = .08	P = .3	P = .043

^aBolded P values indicate statistical significance (P < .05). BME, bone marrow edema; BMI, body mass index.

^bSpearman correlation coefficient and P value.
