Medial femoral condyle, MFC. Medial tibial plateau, MTP. Lateral femoral condyle, LFC. Lateral tibial plateau, LTP. The condition of the articular cartilage was graded according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS)-articular cartilage injury classification. Data are displayed as a mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05.
