It was concluded that, to ensure maximum uniformity in grading x rays in field surveys and therapeutic trials, all readings should be made by the same observer, preferably at a single session.

Variables from the medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiographs were used to develop sets of criteria that serve different investigative purposes and these proposed criteria utilize classification trees, or algorithms.

Although osteo-arthrosis occurs with considerable frequency in population samples and is almost universal in the older age groups, mere prevalence statistics give little indication of its importance to the community whether as a cause of suffering or of economic loss.

Clinical criteria for the classification of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee have been developed and the use of algorithms has been proposed and the uses of algorithms have been proposed.
PubMedOsteoarthritis as a remodeling process.
56 Citations1987Leon Sokoloff
Osteoarthritic remodeling involves intimately related events in 3 compartments of the joint surface: the cartilage, osteochondral junction, and capsular tissues which places theoretical constraints on what can be accomplished by antiproteases in the treatment of degenerative joint disease.
