Figure 7From: Mechanical effects of surgical procedures on osteochondral grafts elucidated by osmotic loading and real-time ultrasoundBiomechanical analysis. (a) Load-deformation curve of the sample. The maximum load applied at fracture of the sample (breaking load) is shown as F max.(b) Breaking loads (F max) of groups I and II. The error bars represent the standard deviation of each group. P < 0.05 by the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test.Back to article page
