Fig. 1 Schematic diagram to illustrate the subregions scored for BMLs and subchondral cysts using WORMS. Legend: M=medial; L=lateral; a=anterior; c=central; p=posterior. 1The TS region is only scored for BMLs and subchondral bone cysts and not OST nor CARTs.

Fig. 2 MOST OrthOne MRIs of the knee illustrating grades 1, 2 and 3 BMLs at the TS subregion. (a) Coronal STIR image. WORMS grade 1 bone marrow lesion in the medial spine of the intercondylar eminence in the TS region (arrows). (b) Coronal STIR image. WORMS grade 2 bone marrow lesion (arrows) in the TS region directly adjacent to the tibial insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament. (c) Coronal STIR image. Large grade 3 bone marrow lesion in the TS region. BML extends into the central subregions of the medial and lateral tibia (arrows). Note also large BML central medial femur (arrowheads).
