Table 2. Quantitative analysis of cell phenotype and blood vessel quantification in the human scapholunate ligament (SLIL) zones. For each analysis method, the average number of positive cells or the average number of blood vessels per unit of area ± standard deviation is shown for each sample. Statistical p values correspond to the comparison of each SLIL region vs. the rest of the regions using the Mann-Whitney test. Statistically significant values are labeled with asterisks (*). FT: Flexor tendon, CL: Carpal ligament, AC: Articular cartilage, TF: Triangular fibrocartilage, CC: Carpal articular capsule, RT: Retinaculum, D1: dorsal region (part 1), D2: dorsal region (part 2), M1: membranous region (part 1), M2: membranous region (part 2), P1: palmar region (part 1), P2: palmar region (part 2). S100: immunohistochemistry for the chondrocyte marker S100, CD73: immunohistochemistry for the stem cell marker CD73, Vessels: quantification of blood vessels showing positive immunohistochemical signal for CD34.
