From: Biomechanical comparison of menisci from different species and artificial constructs
Stiffness (N/mm) of all tested meniscus samples and the artificial scaffolds increased significantly between cycle 1 and 5. P-values for statistically significant differences between human and porcine/ bovine meniscus samples. The difference between human and ovine samples was statistically not significant (p = 0.053 at cycle 1 and p = 0.399 at cycle 5), whereas the differences between the human meniscus and the synthetic constructs were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
