Fig. 1 These graphs show the individual values of bone to serum ratios in patients with spontaneous ON (A) and OA (B) of the knee. (C) The graph shows the individual values of bone to serum ratios in healthy controls18.

Fig. 2 Photomicrograph of an osteonecrotic lesion (stain, Giemsa, original magnification, ×40). Rupture and collapse of the articular cartilage are seen adjacent to necrotic bone in the subchondral area (arrows). Necrotic bone marrow is surrounded by fibrovascular proliferation (granulation tissue).
