From: Axial forces and bending moments in the loaded rabbit tibia in vivo
Operative procedure of the rabbit tibia and preparation for measurement. The rabbit tibia was ostectomised to transfer all developing forces via the force sensors: intraoperative picture (a) and post operative radiographic verification (b), ostectomy gap: white arrows; ring fixateur system with four pressure sensors after ostectomy of the tibia directly postoperatively for calibration of the force sensors under general anaesthesia without weight bearing (c)
