Pressure distribution and coverage footprint area. The brighter colored zones indicate a greater force than the darker areas. These images demonstrate the disturibution of force rather than the quantity of force. It is noted that K repair and KRS repair generate a more uniform distribution within the footprint area, which is outlined. The represented pictures demonstrated the condition (30 N 0° / 50 N 0° / 30 N 30° from left to right). a Knotted Double-Loaded repair (DL repair). b knotless repair (K repair). c knotless rip-stop repair (KRS repair)
