Tension-compression loading with chemical stimulation results in additive increases to functional properties of anatomic meniscal constructs.

This study aimed to improve the functional properties of anatomically-shaped meniscus constructs through simultaneous tension and compression mechanical stimulation in conjunction with chemical stimulation.Scaffoldless meniscal constructs were subjected to simultaneous tension and compressive stimul...
