Fig. 5　The resultant force of an intact meniscus and a complete radial tear under (A) 150 N axial load and (B) 5 Nm valgus torque. (A) Under the 150 N axial load, the resultant force increases significantly in the novel suture compared with the radial tear at 45° of knee joint flexion. Although there are no significant differences in other angles, the novel suture and horizontal suture have higher resultant force than the radial tear. (B) Under the 5 Nm valgus torque, the resultant force of the novel suture is significantly higher than radial tear at 30°-60° of the knee joint flexion. At 60° of knee joint flexion, horizontal tear also significantly improved the resultant force compared to the radial tear. Although there were no significant differences in other angles, the novel suture and horizontal suture had higher resultant force than the radial tear.
