The pullout strength for each screw was determined by axial pullout failure testing.
The bone healing was assessed by μCT, histological evaluation and torsional failure testing.
The policies outlined by Charles Kennedy [on Tuesday] amount to nothing less than the old socialist recipe for national economic failure, tested to destruction by every Labour government of the last century.
Table 4 Summary of fatigue failure tests (groups 1, 2 & 3): max.
Static failure tests demonstrate the high performance of this technology and show its original mechanical behavior.
In addition, lower vessel failure tests for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are being performed.
In the torsion failure tests, the failure modes differed somewhat between femurs, but again there was no difference between the two plates.
Table 6 Summary of fatigue failure tests: maximal load, vertical & lateral stiffness, number of cycles (all values prior to failure) and failure types.
Again as in previous studies the axial failure tests ended because of per-trochanteric femoral neck fractures, not because of failure at the osteotomy7.
