Summary of the reconstructed ligament structural property prediction equations for both the 15 and 52 week time points as a function of volume (VOL) and median grayscale value (MGV)

Dependant Variable (Y)	Predictor (X1, X2)	P value	R²	Standard Error	Equation
Max Load (N)	VOL (mm³)	<0.001	0.73	216.1	Max Load = 440.1 + 0.6VOL − 370.1MGV
Max Load (N)	MGV	<0.001	0.73	216.1	Max Load = 440.1 + 0.6VOL − 370.1MGV
Yield Load (N)	VOL (mm³)	<0.001	0.72	196.0	Yield Load = 343.8 + 0.6VOL − 298.5 MGV
Yield Load (N)	MGV	<0.001	0.72	196.0	Yield Load = 343.8 + 0.6VOL − 298.5 MGV
Stiffness (N/mm)	VOL (mm³)	<0.001	0.68	36.1	Stiffness = 141.0 + 0.1VOL − 37.5 MGV
Stiffness (N/mm)	MGV	<0.001	0.68	36.1	Stiffness = 141.0 + 0.1VOL − 37.5 MGV
