✦ Synopsis

We examined the relationship between articular cartilage degeneration, as visualized arthroscopically, and joint space narrowing (JSN) in standing anteropos.

terior knee radiographs of 161 patients with chronic knee pain. The majority of these patients had radiographic findings of mild osteoarthritis. Twenty-five (33%) of the 76 patients in the series whose radiographs showed tibiofemoral JSN had grossly normal articular cartilage in both tibiofemoral compartments at arthroscopy (false-positive). The specificity of medial JSN for From the

## Abstract ## Objective To use the collagenase cleavage site neoepitope, TIINE, a marker of type II collagen breakdown in cartilage, to analyze the mechanism underlying the slowing of joint space narrowing (JSN) in patients with knee osteoarthritis treated with doxycycline. ## Methods The creat
