Increased size of the central osteophytes was associated with increased size of the largest marginal osteophyte in the knee (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient = 0.46 with p = 0.022). Patients with central osteophytes were more likely to have a meniscal tear than were patients without central osteophytes (p = 0...
