Figure 4.

Mean maximal diameter of subchondral bone cysts (SBC) in the medial tibial plateau for all rodents post surgery. Points represent the SBC measured in the coronal plane using micro-CT at each time point. Repeated measures ANOVA found the diameter increased significantly at 3 months post-ACLX (anterior cruciate ligament with partial medial menisectomy) versus the 1-month time point (*P < 0.05). ANOVA, analysis of variance; micro-CT, micro computed tomography.
