title: Ultimate failure of diaphyseal bone. An experimental study on dogs.
abstract: The fracture process of torsion tested entire canine diaphyseal bones was studied with a high speed camera. The speed of the final fracture propagation proved to be incompatible with plastic deformation of macroscopical parts of the bone.
