ALT This figure shows the extent of cartilage damage after 6 weeks of daily loading and treatment compared to a non-loaded control knee with no cartilage damage present. The cartilage is stained red, and the bone is stained bluish green. Overall, combined parathyroid hormone pretreatment prior to loading and alendronate treatment during loading had the least cartilage damage (loss of red-stained tissue) and preserved the most cartilage.
