Graphs representing biomechanical findings in the three groups. (A) Maximum load (N) was not significantly different within each group at any time point. (B) Maximum stress (MPa) was not significantly different within each group at any time point. (C) The modulus (MPa) of the repair + CS specimens was significantly lower than that of the repair only specimens at 4 weeks (*p < 0.05). The modulus increased significantly in the repair only and repair + P407 specimens between 2 and 4 weeks. (D) Stiffness (N/mm) of the repair + P407 specimens was significantly higher than that of the repair + CS specimens at 4 weeks (*p < 0.05) and increased significantly from 2 to 4 weeks after surgery.
