Figure 3.
Evaluation of cartilage adjacent to in situ filled focal chondral defects in the ex vivo porcine model under free swelling, FS (A,B) and under dynamic compressive loading, DL (C,D). Representative microscopy images are shown for full depth cartilage adjacent to the filled defect and width of sGAG loss was quantified (A,C). The indentation modulus E* is presented (B,D).
