Detailed view

What to notice

  • Knee OA is a whole-joint disorder rather than cartilage wear alone.
  • Radiographic severity does not map perfectly to pain or disability.
  • Clinical management should combine symptoms, function, examination and patient goals rather than imaging alone.

The visual should be interpreted with the accompanying clinical context. PNA avoids using a single image or special test as stand-alone proof of a diagnosis.
