Papain digestion (30 min) tended to soften the meniscus and significantly increased friction. (A) The equilibrium (labeled as zero indentation rate) and effective moduli of six central femoral aspect samples prior to and post digestion treatment. No statistical significance was found between the pre- and post treatment moduli at any of the indentation rates. (B) The friction coefficients of the samples were significantly increased at each of the sliding speed post digestion treatment (Tukey multiple comparisons, p<0.002).
