    Meniscus injury is a significant cause of knee osteoarthritis (OA), leading to subchondral bone alterations that are not fully understood.

  • 2

    Larger animal models provide better insights into subchondral bone remodeling compared to rodents, which have limitations due to small joint size.

  • 3

    The subchondral bone plate in humans is thinner and structurally different from that in larger animals, affecting OA research outcomes.

  • 4

    Early OA stages show primary osteoporotic changes in subchondral bone, followed by sclerosis and osteophyte formation as the disease progresses.

  • 5

    A systematic review identified only 23 studies focusing on subchondral bone changes in OA induced by meniscal injuries, highlighting research gaps.
