The structure of fibrocartilage combines both strength and rigidity; therefore, it is key to the support and fusion of joints in which it is present. Fibrocartilage is an anisotropic material that exhibits different strength capacities depending on the direction of loading (Murphy, Black, & Hastings, 2016). For example, it has been shown that fibrocartilage is strong during tension occurring in parallel to the orientation of the collagen fibers, but weaker during shear loading (Mansour, 2009).
