Region-dependent mechanical properties at the insertion site. Equilibrium axial stress (n = 3) (A and B) and apparent Young's modulus (n = 3) (C and D) of the nonmineralized (NFC) and mineralized fibrocartilage (MFC) regions at 5% and 10% resultant strain. Note the significantly higher axial stress as well as the significantly greater apparent Young's modulus found for the MFC region (*, P < 0.05).
