Uniformity in mechanics of long bones at torque. A dog experiment.
Entire and fresh pairs of tibiae and femora from dogs have been tested with a computerized torsion machine. No differences were observed within the pair for several structural parameters, ensuring a right-left congruence of the load deformation curves of the tested bones.
