title: [High-speed motion picture analysis of bone fractures].
abstract: Torsional fractures of plastic and cadaver tibiae were investigated using high speed cinematography. The bones were fractured while immersed in water. With greater than 9000 frames/sec the fracture was displayed in about 5 frames showing the progression of the fracture lines. The immersion in water made a strong implosion visible which may result in considerable tissue damage in vivo.
