Figure 1. Axial compression of the full tibia.

Figure 1

The mechanical resistance to failure was tested in pilot experiments to determine the loads which will be applied in vivo to induce damage [15] The force compression threshold for fatigue loading was determined as a displacement that reached 30% of the average displacement to complete fracture in Postn +/+ mice (D).
