Experimental transverse tensile properties of human meniscal attachments. Elastic modulus is derived from optically tracked strain data, ultimate stress and failure strain are determined using test machine strain data. MA=medial anterior, MP=medial posterior, LA=lateral anterior, LP=lateral posterior. Mean +/− Standard error

	Elastic Modulus (MPa)	Ultimate Stress (MPa)	Failure Strain (mm/mm)
MA	1.35±0.76 *	0.34±0.12 *	0.82±0.13
MP	6.42±0.78	1.73±0.32	0.49±0.06
LA	1.21±0.48 *	0.56±0.04 *^	0.81±0.17
LP	1.21±0.56 *	0.33±0.06 *	0.94±0.11

^*= significantly different than MP

^{^}= significantly different than LP
