Effect of IACFM on the frequency distribution of vessel thickness (V.Th). V.Th distribution in the A: tibial, B: middle, and C: femoral subregions of the injured knee MCL and adjacent connective tissue. IACFM-treated hindlimbs had a higher proportion of V.Th within the 5.9 to <41.2 μm range in the tibial subregion. No differences were found in the middle or femoral subregions. Bars represent mean ± SD. *indicates p < 0.02 compared to non-treated hindlimb.
