Figure 4.
Compressive stress-strain load deformation on an average of five samples for articular bovine cartilage and cartilage/hydrogel interface specimens. The single layer of articular cartilage (blue
) performed similarly to the hydrogel with HAp (
) and cartilage/hydrogel system with HAp (
). No significant difference was seen with addition of CBP with (
) and without (
) the cartilage interface.
