Fig. 4C. —Medial tibial plateau of 55-year-old woman. sm = submeniscal
region. Photograph shows that specimen corresponding to A and B
was fractured in midcoronal plane. Superficial level of tissue curvature in
central region of plateau (single arrow) correlates with thin and
superficial transitional layer on MRI (single arrow, A and
B). In submeniscal region of joint, more oblique curvature of cartilage
is present at same location where increases in relative thickness of surface
and transitional layers are apparent on MRI. Vertical striations in deep layer
(double arrows, A and B) on MRIs correspond to location
of columnlike arrangement of tissue (double arrows) in deepest region
of cartilage, as displayed on this fractured specimen.
