Abstract
Only female sex, incident meniscal tear, and higher baseline value of extrusion are risk factors for increased meniscal body extrusion in subjects free of radiographic OA. The results suggest that meniscal extrusion may contribute to and mediate the well-known increase in knee OA incidence in middle-aged women.
