Indentation and trace element concentration of medial cartilage. Equilibrium elastic modulus of the medial femur (A) and medial tibia (B) were lower in FCT-containing knees when compared to the IFP/SC. Medial cartilage analyzed for trace element revealed a lower concentration of Mg (C) and P (D) in cartilage from FCT knees compared to cartilage collected from IFP/SC knees. Data was normally distributed and compared using parametric ratio paired t test†. * P< 0.05
