Abstract

A previously presented method for measuring the torsional strength of diaphyseal bones has been used to study the effect of direction of twist upon the torsional strength and stiffness of diaphyseal canine bones. No significant effect of the direction of twist upon the studied properties has been found. The reason for the observed twist direction independence of the torsional strength and stiffness is assumed to be the adaptation of the diaphyseal bone architecture to functional demands.
