(A) T1rho and (B) T2 relaxation times of cartilage at baseline, following approximately 6 weeks of non–weight bearing (post-NWB), and after 4 weeks of returning to full weight bearing (post-FWB). The values above each set of bars indicate the percentage change score between baseline and post-NWB. Abbreviations: FWB, full weight bearing; LFC, lateral femoral condyle; LT, lateral tibia; MFC, medial femoral condyle; MT, medial tibia; NWB, non–weight bearing; PAT, patella.
