Magnetic resonance Observation of CArtilage Repair Tissue [knee score](English)

  • the volume of cartilage defect filling is assessed in 25% increments, with hypertrophic filling of up to 150% receiving the same scoring as complete repair. Integration assesses only the integration to neighboring native cartilage, and the severity of surface irregularities is assessed in reference to cartilage repair length rather than depth. The signal intensity of the repair tissue differentiates normal signal, minor abnormal, or severely abnormal signal alterations. The assessment of the variables "subchondral lamina," "adhesions," and "synovitis" is removed and the points are reallocated to the new variable "bony defect or bony overgrowth." The variable "subchondral bone" is renamed to "subchondral changes" and assesses minor and severe edema-like marrow signal, as well as subchondral cysts or osteonecrosis-like signal
