Coherency coefficient of control and fatigue loaded ACL fibers in SHG images from paired knee specimens (P1 - P3). Loss of coherency in the tested ACLs (average coherency coefficient in dashed line: 0.12. ± 0.09) compared to control ACLs (average coherency coefficient in dashed line: 0.29 ± 0.15) indicates a reduction of fiber alignment from fatigue loading (P = 0.003). (solid line: median, box: 1st – 3rd Quartile range, whiskers: 5 – 95% of data, dot: outliers)
