| dc.description.abstract | Six bone slices from one canine tibia were tested by compressive load to determine the ultimate strength as a function of distance from the knee. Both the ultimate compressive strength and overall modulus of elasticity of tibial bone increased with increasing distance from the knee. However, over the first 15 mm the ultimate compressive strength is almost constant. Moreover, the changing cross-sectional area of cancellous bone conversely affects the changing strength and modulus of elasticity. These findings were a pilot study of the technique, which will subsequently be used for human tibial bone. Such data is relevant in the human with respect to the ability of the bone at various distances from the condyle to support the "flat-plate" loading of the tibial tray that is a standard component of total knee replacements. | en |
