MRI cartilage thickness after KJD and HTO 281 14 Figure 1 : Flowchart of final patient selection The baseline characteristics of the 3 patient groups are displayed in Table 1. The KJD TKA group had a higher age and Kellgren-Lawrence grade than the HTO and KJD HTO groups. It also had a higher MAC denuded bone area and lower MAC cartilage thickness, pointing towards more severe structural pathology, and a lower leg axis deviation than the other 2 groups. Between KJD HTO and HTO there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics.
