5 Stages Subchondral Insufficiency Fracture
Stage 1: Normal plain films, abnormal bone scan or MRI Stage 2: Subtle flattening of femoral condyle Stage 3: Area of radiolucency surrounding sclerotic area in subchondral bone Stage 4: Radiolucency surrounded by a sclerotic halo Stage 5: Secondary changes of DJD
