Symptomatic bone marrow lesions induced by reduced bone mineral density in middle-aged women: a cross-sectional Japanese population study

Symptomatic bone marrow lesions induced by reduced bone mineral density in middle-aged women: a cross-sectional Japanese population study

Abstract Background The etiology of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) without knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and their association with bone fragility are unclear.
