From: Axial forces and bending moments in the loaded rabbit tibia in vivo
The progress of developing maximum bending moments during the postoperative observation period. Maximum bending moments of 27 and in one animal 41 days are shown in comparison to a control animal without ostectomy (brown spot). The mean value of the ten maximum values of each measurement day were calculated for each animal (animal 1 to 4) and summarised for all animals (MV, stars). The ten maximum values were single measurement points, extracted from the three measurement periods of the day.
