The images belong to patients correctly graded according to the scoring system described in Table 2. a (Score 0): Osteophytes absent. b (Score 1): Osteophytes present on the patella (not shown) and proximal aspect of the femoral trochlear groove (arrow). c (Score 2): Osteophytes present on the patella (white arrow), femoral trochlear groove (yellow arrow), medial and lateral femoral condyles (orange arrows) and tibial plateau (green arrow). d (Score 3): Severe osteophytes on the patella (not shown), femoral trochlear groove (yellow arrow), medial and lateral femoral condyles (orange arrows) and tibial plateau (green arrow).
