Knee joint distraction (KJD) has been shown to result in long-term clinical improvement and short- term cartilage restoration in young OA patients. The objective of the current study was to evaluate MRI cartilage thickness up to 10 years after KJD treatment, using a 3D surface-based approach.
Conclusion. KJD results in significant short- and long-term cartilage regeneration, up to 10 years post-treatment.
