Reconstruction and volume calculation of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone using the CEX-μCT imaging method. (A) A representative case of reconstructed articular cartilage and subchondral bone. (B) Comparison of cartilage volumes between MMx-treated and sham-treated knees. The medial cartilage volumes were significantly increased in the MMx-treated knee compared with that in the sham-treated knee. Abbreviations: P, posterior; A, anterior; MCT, medial cartilage of the tibial plateau; LCT, lateral cartilage of the tibia plateau. ** p < 0.01 on paired t-test.
