Insertion site-dependent mechanical heterogeneity. Equilibrium axial stress of nonmineralized (NFC) (A) and mineralized fibrocartilage (MFC) (B) regions (n = 3; *, P < 0.05). Significantly higher axial stress was found for the tibial compared with the femoral insertion at 10% resultant strain. (C) Incremental apparent Young's modulus (n = 3) of the femoral and tibial NFC and MFC regions at 10% resultant compressive strain.
