Local anisotropy in mineralized fibrocartilage and subchondral bone beneath the tendon-bone interface

Abstract The enthesis allows the insertion of tendon into bone thanks to several remarkable strategies. This complex and clinically relevant location often features a thin layer of fibrocartilage sandwiched between tendon and bone to cope with a highly heterogeneous mechanical environment. The main...
