Figure 4

Biomechanical properties of native labra in sham-operated joints and in implants in reconstructed joints were evaluated in the porcine model at 24 weeks postoperatively. (A-E) Showed outcomes from compression tests. (A) Schematic of sample harvesting. (B) The length, width, and height of the samples (scale bar, 1 mm). (C) The test platform with universal material testing apparatus. (D) Force-stroke curve of the labra and implants. (E) Elastic modulus of the labra and implants (unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-tests; n = 5 for each group). (F-J) Showed the tensile tests results. (F) Schematic of sample harvesting. (G) Sample sizes (scale bar, 2 mm). (H) The universal material testing apparatus used for the test. (I) Force-stroke curve of the samples. (J) Biomechanical features of the labra and implants (unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-tests; elastic modulus, n = 5; strain at failure and stress at failure, n = 3 for labra, n = 4 for implants). Data are shown as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01.
