98.0 ± 2.3, respectively; mean difference ± SEM = 5.8 ± 2.0; 95% CI = 1.3-10.4; P = 0.017), and there was a statistical trend toward a lower Lysholm score at 24 months in the presence of bony defect at 6 months follow-up (92.2 ± 4.4 vs. 96.8 ± 3.8, respectively; mean difference ± SEM = 4.6 ± 2.1; 95% CI = 0.01-9.21; P = 0.05).

The sentences
There was a statistical significance for the correlation of lower BMunsat 24 months after surgery with higher BMEL volumes at 3 months (R = −0.850, P = 0.007), at 6 months (R = −0.811, P = 0.008), and at 12 months follow-up (R = −0.727, P = 0.027). Those patients with excellent Lysholm scores (>90 points) at 24 months follow-up showed a trend for higher BMunsat than patients with Lysholm scores ≤90 points (43.4% ± 8.0% vs. 27.3% ± 13.6%, respectively; mean difference ± SEM = 16.1% ± 7.2%; 95% CI = −1.0%-33.3%; P = 0.061).
