“…The study group did not correlate the intensity of pain with T2 values but found no significant correlation between International Cartilage Repair Society–like classification and T2 values of the lesions ( P = 0.18). The correlation between T2 values and BMI is controversial in the published literature, 45,46 but we found no correlation between T2/T2* mapping and BMI in our patients. In addition, no correlation could be seen between age and T2/T2* values, although some other studies found increasing T2 and T2* parameters with age, especially in the medial compartment of the knee 7,47,48 …”

“…Compared to other studies, the T2 values obtained in our study in the MCP joints were relatively low (range of 9.3 ms-25.7 ms). Higher T2 levels were predominantly observed in the articular cartilage of patients with joint pain, osteoarthritis (OA), or rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where higher T2 values were observed [35][36][37]. The higher T2 values observed in these studies could, on the one hand, be due to the fact that, unlike the present study, they involved patients with diseases or symptoms in the finger joints, such as pain, OA, or RA.…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to further expand the sample size in future research to improve its credibility. 2) In our study, various indexes of articular cartilage in the two groups were compared horizontally, which made it difficult to avoid the errors in T2 value caused by individual differences, such as age and BMI (27,28). In the follow-up, we will longitudinally follow up the changes in cartilage in patients with meniscus tear after arthroscopic treatment.…”
