Abstract: Abstract. New approach methodologies (NAMs) can reduce reliance on animal testing and enable outcomes assessments in humans that were previously possible only in animal studies. Translating NAMs from animals to clinical ...

Abstract: The mechanics of distal femur fracture fixation has been widely studied in bench tests that employ a variety of approaches for holding and constraining femurs to apply loads. No standard test methods have been adopted for ...

Abstract: Biomechanical testing of long bones can be susceptible to errors and uncertainty due to malalignment of specimens with respect to the mechanical axis of the test frame. To solve this problem, we designed a novel, customizable ...
