Key Points: Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is superior in assessing bony structures compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) In this study, there was a 40% rate of discrepancy when grading knee subchondral insufficiency fractures on CBCT vs. MRI, with MRI frequently underestimating damage of the subchondral bone plate while overestimating lesion size. CBCT is the imaging modality of choice for grading lesions and assessing subchondral bone plate integrity in the knee Subchondral insufficiency fracture
