Abstract

The results of 36 dynamic torsion tests on diaphyseal segments of fresh human femora yielded average strengths of 154.7 Nm and 118.3 Nm for males and females respectively. All specimens failed with a spiral fracture surface. The results of a detailed stress analysis conducted on one femur compared favorably with measured stiffness and published ultimate shear stress values.
