Characterization of cartilage specimens. (a) Schematic of the cartilage sampling locations at the lesion and remote from the lesion yielding cartilage from deep and superficial non-lesioned areas. (b) Comparison of modified Mankin scores for both lesioned and non-lesioned osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage. Representative toluidine blue-stained cartilage histological sections show the proteoglycan content of (c) non-lesioned superficial (NLS) and non-lesioned deep (NLD) OA cartilage and (d) lesioned OA cartilage.
