The use of plain radiography in diagnosing osteoarthritis: A systematic review and time trend analysis (2022)
Journal Article
Henry-Blake, C., Marshall, M., Treadwell, K., Parmar, S., Higgs, J., Edwards, J. J., & Peat, G. (2022). The use of plain radiography in diagnosing osteoarthritis: A systematic review and time trend analysis. Musculoskeletal Care, 21(2), 462-477. https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1718

Introduction
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) suggest there is no role for routine radiography in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA). It is not known how consistent this recommendation is across international guidelines...
