Influence of meniscectomy on the load support of the joint. The joint was first tested with intact joint capsule (I) and then after meniscectomy (M). a Typical reaction force as a function of compression for three compression rates, 10, 100 and 1000 μm/s respectively; b Normalized reaction force at 1200-μm compression: the force was normalized by the maximum obtained, respectively, from the intact and meniscectomized joint
