Histological assessment: representative Safranin O-stained sections for four parameters of the modified Mankin score and the corresponding QP. A The modified Mankin score of the cartilage section was 1 (structure, 1; cellularity, 0; matrix staining, 0; tidemark, 0; total, 1). The QP of the same point was 23. B The modified Mankin score of the cartilage section was 5 (structure, 0; cellularity, 2; matrix staining, 2; tidemark, 1; total, 5). The QP of the same point was 16. C The modified Mankin score of the cartilage section was 9 (structure, 4; cellularity, 3; matrix staining, 2; tidemark, 0; total, 9). The QP of the same point was 13. D The modified Mankin score of the cartilage section was 15 (structure, 6; cellularity, 4; matrix staining, 4; tidemark, 1; total, 15). The QP of the same point was 7
