Figure 9From: Immature articular cartilage and subchondral bone covered by menisci are potentially susceptive to mechanical load Micro-computed tomographic analysis in regions covered and uncovered by menisci. Bone mineral density (BV/TV) of the medial and lateral tibial subchondral bone (A). Trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) of the medial and lateral tibial subchondral bone (B). Trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) of the medial and lateral tibial subchondral bone (C). Bars show the mean ± 95% confidence interval. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.Back to article page
