Presentation / Conference Contribution
McWilliams, D. F., Shahtaheri, M., Koushesh, S., Joseph, C., Gowler, P., Chapman, V., Sofat, N., & Walsh, D. A. The rat Osteoarthritis Bone Score: a new histological system for scoring subchondral pathology in rat knees analogous to histological correlates of human OA bone marrow lesions. Presented at 2024 OARSI World Congress on Osteoarthritis, Vienna, Austria

Purpose (the aim of the study): Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are detected by MRI in the in human osteoarthritis (OA) subchondral bone and associated with pain. We previously described 7 histological features associated with BMLs from which we developed...
