From: The potential of using semitendinosus tendon as autograft in rabbit meniscus reconstruction

Biomechanical tests of native meniscus, native tendon and regenerated meniscus at 24 weeks post-operative of transplantation group. (a) Microscopic geomorphology of the surface of tendon and the femoral condylar contact surface of meniscus and regenerated meniscus was acquired during nanoindentation. (b) and (c) The biomechanical properties of each tissue were calculated with the biomechanical curves: (b) Elastic modulus; (c) Hardness (n = 5, *p < 0.05).
