Figure 2:
Top panel presents articular cartilage and bone slopes. Middle and posterior cartilage slopes (MCS and PCS) and subchondral bone slope (BS) measured relative to the posterior-anterior directed axis of the tibia. The middle panel presents the posterior meniscus angles. Posterior meniscus wedge angle measured relative to posterior surface of the articular cartilage (MCA) and relative to subchondral bone (MBA). The bottom panel presents the meniscus and cartilage heights. Height of the posterior aspect of the meniscus measured relative to the cartilage surface (MCH), and height of the posterior articular cartilage surface measured relative to subchondral bone (CBH). The same measurements were made in the medial and lateral compartments.
