Fig. 3 — Morphology of cartilage on the trochlear groove. Normal articular cartilage of the trochlea was shown at 3 weeks in the sham group. The shape of the trochlear cartilage was blunt at 3 weeks in the PG. The cartilage on the lateral trochlear facets was thicker than the center and the medial at 3 weeks in the PG.
