Figure 1From: Acute cell viability and nitric oxide release in lateral menisci following closed-joint knee injury in a lapine model of post-traumatic osteoarthritis Impact experiments were performed by dropping a gravity-accelerated mass onto the flexed tibial-femoral joint. The rabbit knee was positioned such that the deformable head struck the distal femur in order to induce anterior tibial subluxation, ACL rupture and meniscal tearing.Back to article page
