Modulus results were obtained from micro-indents in arrays spanning the growth plate cartilage at eight different locations (left). Hertz contact moduli were averaged anterior–posterior and evaluated as a function of depth across the growth plate (i.e., Y% with respect to the epiphyseal and metaphyseal junction) with a bin size of 10%. Small blue dots represent individual data points, bold black dots represent mean ± standard deviation (error bars).
