Whole bone testing in small animals: systematic characterization of the mechanical properties of different rodent bones available for rat fracture models
Abstract Objectives Rat fracture models are extensively used to characterize normal and pathological bone healing. Despite, systematic research on inter- and intra-individual differences of common rat bones examined is surprisingly not available. Thus, we studied the biomechanical behaviour and radi...
