Concept Bottleneck Models (2020, methodology): “…with higher scores denoting more severe disease.2 As concepts, we use k = 10 ordinal variables describing joint space narrowing, bone spurs, calcification, etc.; these clinical concepts are also assessed by radiologists and used directly in the assessment of KLG (Kellgren & Lawrence, 1957).”
Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis, lumbar spondylosis, and osteoporosis in Japanese men and women: the research on osteoarthritis/osteoporosis against disability study (2009, unknown): “The severity of radiographic OA was determined according to Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grading as follows [17]: KL0, normal; KL1, slight osteophytes; KL2, definite osteophytes; KL3, joint or intervertebral space narrowing with large osteophytes; KL4, bone sclerosis, joint or intervertebral space narrowi”

The Long-term Consequence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Injuries (2007, methodology): “A best effort was made to translate the data into the accepted Kellgren and Lawrence scale.(84) Study group size varied from about 10 to 1000, loss to follow-up from 0% to 90%, sex distribution from 0% to 100% males, age at injury and surgery from about 10 years to older than 50 years, and proportio”
Joint Injury in Young Adults and Risk for Subsequent Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis (2000, background): “Respondents were also asked whether they had undergone radiographic evaluation of their knees and hips and whether radiography revealed osteophytes, joint space narrowing, subchondral cysts, or bony sclerosis (the radiographic hallmarks of osteoarthritis) (20).”
Significant association of interleukin-4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism with susceptibility to knee osteoarthritis. (2014, methodology): “Radiological criteria for assessment of the knee OA were the Kellgren–Lawrence grading scale (Kellgren and Lawrence, 1957).”

Review of secondary physical conditions associated with lower-limb amputation and long-term prosthesis use. (2008, background): “On the basis of Kellgren and Lawrence grades of >2/5 [49], the authors found that 61 percent of hips on the amputated side versus 23 percent of hips on the intact side were osteoarthritic.”
