Testing the utility of porcine and synthetic femora as nonhuman analogs in skeletal trauma research

Porcine and synthetic femora were subjected to concentrated 4-point bending, modified 4-point bending, and 3-point bending to generate diaphyseal fractures. Biomechanical data and fracture patterns were systematically evaluated and compared across different femur types and loadin...
