Evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound in assessing knee osteoarthritis severity and its relationship with Kellgren-Lawrence grading.
Analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design
Included patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis
Participants underwent knee ultrasound scanning by two independent raters
Assessment based on femoral cartilage contour, osteophytes, and meniscus protrusion
Statistical analysis of association between ultrasound and KL grading
112 knee OA patients included in the study
Grade 3 was the most frequently recorded grade in both ultrasound and KL grading
Perfect agreement observed between raters based on weighted kappa analysis (κ = 1.00)
Significant association found between ultrasound assessment and KL grade (p < 0.001)
Very strong association highlighted by Cramér's V test score of 0.742
