Region- and layer-specific investigations of the human menisci using SHG imaging and biaxial testing

In this paper, we examine the region- and layer-specific collagen fiber morphology via second harmonic generation (SHG) in combination with planar biaxial tension testing to suggest a structure-based constitutive model for the human meniscal tissue. Five lateral and four medial menisci were utilized...
