## Background: Connective tissue growth factor (ctgf) predominantly is expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes and its specific receptors are demonstrated on chondrocytic cells. therefore, ctgf may be involved in the proliferation and/or differentiation of cartilage cells. in the current study, ctgf
