FIG. 9.
Mechanical strength of meniscus ex vivo repair. (A) Photographs the meniscus explant with surgically created tear, scaffold implantation, culturing, and tensile testing. (B) Tensile modulus (p < 0.0001 among experimental groups, Kruskal–Wallis test) and (C) UTS (p = 0.0021 among experimental groups, Kruskal–Wallis test; **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 between groups, Mann–Whitney test) of meniscal tears repaired with cell-seeded coaxial scaffolds compared with untreated tears and tears repaired with acellular coaxial scaffolds.
