[Experimental investigations of the axial load carrying capacity of the long bones using Steinmann-pins (author's transl)].
This paper reports the results of experimental investigations of the axial load carrying capacity of the long human bones. These investigations were conducted using a commercial high precision materials testing machine. Force-transmission was effected by Steinmann-pins or screws drilled transversely into the various long bones. The measured loading capacities are reported for various sections of the long bones. Their importance in regard to biomechanics, application and dimensioning of compression osteosyntheses by external fixation is discussed in length.
