Fig. 6. Graphic stress- and strain-based tissue prediction diagrams created from finite element results for (A) 12° bending and (B) shear. The areas in green represent putative cartilage, the areas in red represent fibrous tissues, and the blue areas represent bone. The bending model predicts two opposing bone elements but does not predict that the cartilage element will completely segment between the proximal and distal halves. The shear model predicts cartilage segmentation between the halves.
