Fig. 1 A: Tibial coordinate system in which digitized articular cartilage (light gray) and subchondral bone (dark gray) surface data were repositioned, including AP length and ML width of the proximal tibia used to scale data to a mean size. B: Cartilage thicknesses were measured where a normal vector to the underlying subchondral bone intersected with the overlying articular cartilage at each point on a standard 1 mm by 1 mm grid.

Fig. 2 Significant injured-to-uninjured side differences in articular cartilage thickness found in the medial compartment within ACL-injured females. Articular cartilage was thicker in the central region and thinner in the posterior region of ACL-injured knees.
