A coronal section MRI of a patient suffering from osteoarthritis of the right knee. When the articular cartilage of the femur and tibia wear away,the bones begin to rub together. This bone-on-bone contact results in pain,impaired mobility or joint deformity. In this image,the cartilage of the joint on the medial side (right side of image) has worn away,damaging the articular ends of the femur and tibia,resulting in a rough and jagged surface on the bones | |
