| 33 (2018) | KOA patients | Increased signal intensity in the IFP was associated with knee structural abnormalities in tibiofemoral compartment. |
| 34 (2018) | KOA patients | IFP signal intensity is associated with the occurrence of knee replacement. |
| 28 (2017) | KOA patients | 1.The increase in 3D MRI heterogeneity was greater in progressor and OA knees than non-progressor knees and healthy knees, respectively. 2. Increase in 3D IFP MRI signal and signal heterogeneity may be associated with radiographic/symptomatic progression of OA, when compared to non-progressive OA or healthy knees |
| 35 (2016) | Older adults | The IFP signal abnormalities has a potentially important role in OA progression. |
| 81 (2015) | Adults without KOA | 1.IFP at baseline was associated with reduced knee pain at follow-up and lateral tibial cartilage volume loss; 2. IFP size is not simply a marker of systemic obesity. |
| 82 (2015) | PFJ OA patients | 1. IFP volume was greater in the PFJ OA group than controls and it was directly related to PFJ OA pain; 2. Larger IFP was associated with worse pain. |
| 2 (2015) | Older adults | 1.IFP maximal area in women was significantly associated with changes in knee pain and reduced loss of medial and lateral tibial cartilage volume; 2. IFP plays a protective role in joint degeneration in the elderly. |
| 36 (2014) | Older adults | 1.IFP maximum area was significantly associated with joint space narrowing and medial osteophytes, knee tibial and patellar cartilage volume, tibial cartilage defects, any BMLs, and knee pain on a flat surface; 2.IFP maximum area is beneficially associated with radiographic OA, MRI structural pathology and knee pain on a flat surface suggesting a protective role for IFP possibly through shock absorption. |
| 15 (2014) | KOA patients | 1.The severity of inflammation in the IFP were associated with the severity of pain in KOA; 2.DCE-MRI is a promising method to study the impact of inflammation in KOA |
| 30 (2010) | KOA patients | Subjects who are prone to growth or enlargement of the IFP may also be more prone to symptomatic OA. |
