Comprehensive assessment of the neo-menisci in a rabbit meniscus injury repair model 3 months post-surgery. a) Macroscopic analysis of neo-menisci and articular cartilage of the corresponding tibial plateau and femoral condyles. b) Histological staining of the neo-menisci (Black arrows indicate degraded PCL). c) Tibial plateau coverage rate of neo-menisci. d) Histological scores of the neo-menisci. e), f), g) h) Histological staining and scores of articular cartilage in the corresponding tibial plateau and femoral condyles, respectively. i), j) X-ray assessment and scores of the corresponding knee joints. All experiments were independently repeated in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation (*P < 0.05).
