(a) Ratings in five anatomically defined areas in the central and peripheral parts of the lateral and medial femoral condyle (femoral anterior growth zone (AGZ), anterior (Ant), loading area (Load), posterior (Post), posterior growth zone (PGZ)). (b) Results of three areas at the medial and lateral tibial condyle (anterior (Ant), loading area (Load), posterior (Post). (c) Ratings of the central patella: caudal, intermediate (Intermed) and cranial area
Areas with pathologic findings in the cartilage or the cartilage below an osseous abnormality seen in morphological images are marked in bold (9 zones in a–c). Compare with “Supplementary analysis of morphological findings”
