Declarations
:
: As a cadaver study, no animal care and use protocol was required. The stifle joints used in this study were obtained from 18 left stifles of healthy beagle dogs euthanized for reasons unrelated to this study, such as for non-orthopaedic research and surgical training approved by our university’s Animal Experiment Committee and Bioethics Committee (approval number: 2019 J-29, 30 K-9, 2020 S-50). All dogs were obtained commercially; therefore, consent to participate was not applicable. Although no permits were required for sample collection,all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
