Inclusion criteria were definite osteophyte presence (i.e., Kellgren\/Lawrence radiographic grade \u22652) in 1 or both knees and at least some difficulty with knee\u2010requiring activity. Varus\u2013valgus alignment (the angle formed by the intersection of the mechanical axes of the femur and tibia) was measured on a full\u2010limb radiograph at baseline. To assess PF OA progression, weight\u2010bearing skyline views of the PF compartment were obtained at baseline and at 18\u2010month followup. Knees with the highest grade of PF narrowing at baseline were excluded from analysis. Logistic regression and generalized estimating equations were used; odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lateral PF OA progression, which occurred in 120 (30%) of 397 knees, was more common than was medial PF OA progression, which occurred in 60 knees (15%).
