cLF, central lateral femur; cMF, central medial femur  =  anterior part of the medial femoral condyle; LT, lateral tibia; MT, medial tibia; P, patella; tAB, total area of subchondral bone, including cartilaginous and denuded areas but excluding peripheral osteophytes; ThCcAB.max, maximum cartilage thickness; ThCcAB.me, mean thickness of the cartilage in cartilage covered areas, but not accounting for denuded areas as being 0 mm cartilage thickness; VC, total volume of the cartilage.
