Figure 4. Chondrocyte cell viability.

Figure 4.

A) Superficial zone chondrocyte viability was reduced in the SC articulation group as compared to the MC or control group; furthermore total chondrocyte viability was reduced in the SC group as compared to the MC or control group. B) Combined analysis (medial and lateral sides) shows that MC articulation helps retain chondrocyte viability, while explants subjected to SC articulation suffer a greater loss in chondrocyte viability up to a greater depth when compared to control group. C) In both the medial and lateral explants, SC articulation reduced chondrocyte viability. Data represented as Mean ± SEM; *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001; a = p <0.05 between control; b = p<0.05 between SC and MC.
