Fig 2. Biomechanical Parameters.

(a, b) Load-displacement diagram of corresponding bones during three-point bending. The first diagram (a) shows the fracture-curve of the control side, the second the experimental side (b). The ordinate displays the force (N), the abscisse the displacement (in mm). Different scales of the ordinate. The red line in Fig 2b displays stiffness (gradient of the linear part of the load-displacement curve). The light blue area is the work to failure (area under the curve (Nmm)).
