Representative scanning electron microscope (SEM) micro-scale image of the cartilage morphology of the two areas. (a) High-weight-bearing area (HWA) at a magnification of 1000 ×. (b) Low-weight-bearing area (LWA) at a magnification of 1000 ×. (c) HWA at a magnification of 3000 ×. (d) LWA at a magnification of 3000 ×. (e) The collagen fiber density of the two areas (n = 6 per area)
