Figure 1. Repeated measures study design for assessing biomechanical response of intact, injured and repaired ovine intervertebral discs (IVDs).

Figure 1

(A) IVDs from five cervical levels (C2:C7) from nine animals were distributed to two groups in a repeated measures study design. (B) The cervical IVDs were distributed to two groups independent of level. (C) IVDs distributed to Injured and FibGen groups were tested in the Intact condition and injured with 2- mm biopsy punch. IVDs in the Injured group were tested after injury. IVDs in FibGen group were repaired with injection of FibGen and tested.
