(A) Representative elastic maps for superficial zone PCM scan regions evaluated in the 1-, 2- and 3-directions. B. Elastic moduli for PCM regions in the superficial, middle and deep zones evaluated in the 1- (black), 2- (white), and 3- (striped) directions. There was no significant interactive effect between cartilage zone and loading direction (p = 0.27) and PCM moduli exhibited zonal uniformity (p = 0.38). When pooled across zones, PCM 1-dir moduli were significantly greater than 2-dir and 3-dir moduli (p < 0.05). Moduli presented as mean + standard error (N = 10, n ≥ 28 per zone, per direction).
