Mechanical bone strength in the proximal tibia /

Six bone slices from one canine tibia were tested by compressive load to determine the ultimate strength as a function of distance from the knee. Both the ultimate compressive strength and overall modulus of elasticity of tibial bone increased with increasing distance from the knee. However, over th...
