Tolerance Limits and Mechanisms of Failure of the Skeletal System under Impact Conditions.

Abstract

This report is a summary of a statistical analysis of data obtained in several related studies on the mechanical, chemical, and histological properties of primate long bones before and after total body immobilization in plaster casts. Statistical correlations and their significance were determined for more than 60 mechanical, chemical, and histological bone parameters. The parameters were evaluated on primates (rhesus) consisting of control, immobilized, immobilized and exercised, and immobilized and reconditioned groups of animals. A second study on the effect of steroids on the tensile strength of knee ligaments is also included in the report. The data obtained were statistically evaluated and the results are presented in this report.
