Shear strain and shear modulus of the growth plate as a function of distance from the metaphyseal chondro-osseous junction. 637 μm × 637 μm confocal micrographs of a control rat tibial growth plate (a) before and (b) after application of 10% shear strain, the arrow indicating the direction of applied shear. (c) Shear strain and (d) shear modulus profiles for tested samples (n = 5) as a function of distance s from the chondro-osseous junction. Specimens are represented by the same color trace in both (c) and (d).
