Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate possible association(s) between subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIFKs) of the knee and pre-existing health, lifestyle, and/or musculoskeletal conditions. In doing so, this research may shed light on the underlying cause(s) of SIFKs. It is hypothesized that SIFKs of the knee are related to osteoarthritis, weak bone, and/or metabolic issues, rather than trauma.
