Fig. 4.
The variation in the relative difference (Rel. difference %) of articular cartilage from , based on the choice of the surrounding medium (air and water) over different anatomical locations: (A) FL – lateral femur group, (B) FM – medial femur group, (C) PL – lateral patella group, (D) PM – medial patella group, (E) TL – lateral tibia group, and (F) TM – medial tibia group. n is the number of samples (observations) per group per surrounding medium. The values were presented in the format of 1st and 3rd quartiles (shaded bands) and the median (solid curve).
