Table 1 Comparison of the mean gap formation in millimeters ± standard deviation (SD) depending of the type of tear (radial or bucket handle). The comparison is made at 3 different times: after 100 cycles of compression without treatment, after 100 cycles and 500 cycles of compression with treatment
From: Tough gel adhesive is an effective method for meniscal repair in a bovine cadaveric study
|  | Number of tears | Gap after 100 cycles without treatment (mean ± SD) | Gap after 100 cycles with treatment (mean ± SD) | Gap after 500 cycles with treatment (mean ± SD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Radial tears | 24 | 6.46 (± 1.41) | 2 (± 1.29) | 2.67(± 1.20) |
Bucket-handle tears | 24 | 1.92 (± 0.23) | 0.71 (± 0.21) | 0.88 (± 0.20) |
