Immediately following MR imaging, the menisci were resected from the knees (A). The site of repair is indicated by the arrows which was identified by the location of the non-absorbable suture used in the reparative surgery. Two 4mm biopsy punches (solid circles, 2B) were taken at the edge of the repair site. The repair site (dashed lines, 2B) was isolated and meniscus was sutured to guide pins to facilitate attachment to a materials testing machine (C). A 6mm differential variable reluctance transducer was attached to either side of the tear with metallic barbs to measure displacement across the tear throughout testing.
