Figure 3 From: Intra-articular injection of a nutritive mixture solution protects articular cartilage from osteoarthritic progression induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection in mature rabbits: a randomized controlled trial Scanning electron micrographs of articular cartilage surface of the medial tibial plateau. These micrographs were taken at 19 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament transection surgery and the magnification is ×6,000 (scale bar is 10 μm). (a) Normal group. (b) Nutritive mixture solution (NMS) group. (c) Normal saline (NS) group.Back to article page
