- The study focuses on developing and validating the Soft Tissue Radiological Knee (SToRK) Index to quantify the soft tissue envelope around the knee, which can influence surgical procedures like total knee replacement.
- Using weight-bearing radiographs and MRI to correlate soft tissue measurements, the SToRK Index showed a strong relationship with both the soft tissue cross-sectional areas and BMI, with notable differences between genders.
- The findings suggest that the SToRK Index is a reliable and practical tool for surgeons, providing a clearer understanding of knee soft tissue distribution compared to traditional BMI measurements.
