Radiological findings of osteoarthritis
Here's a radiography of a 63-year's-old woman whose chief complaint is knee pain which worsens during walking. Tell the four major radiologic findings, consistent with osteoarthritis. And also, anyone knows the Kellgren's classification of osteoarthritis? Let's review what we know!

One is: the distal part of the phemur is in direct contact with the proximal part of the tibia. I'm trying to use some terminology, I'm in my second week of radiology. So please be gentle ☺

Almost perfect! 😊 If I'm not wrong, it's called narrowing of the joint space.
