  1. aNumber of knees which RLL occurred/number of knees followed at the follow-up period. In each follow-up period, there are cases where the outpatient was not visited or the X-ray was not taken properly, so there is a change in total number of knees
  2. bOverall means that RLL occurred at least once during the follow-up period
  3. RLL radiolucent line
