Ten pairs of proximal femora were harvested from 8-week-old New Zealand white rabbits. Experimental shear fractures were then created in vitro, and load-displacement curves were recorded. One specimen from each animal was tested within 4 h of death, whereas the contralateral specimen was frozen for

โฆ Synopsis
Tensile tests to failure were performed on the distal femoral growth plate of rabbits. The measured tensile forces, together with animal weight and dimensional measurements of the femur, were used to develop a noninvasive

Osteotomies of distal femur were fixed by intraosseous selfreinforced poly-L-lactic acid (SR-PLLA) plates in 29 adult rabbits. The follow-up times were from 3 to 24 weeks. After sacrifice, radiological, histological, microradiographic, and oxytetracycline fluorescence studies were performed. Althoug
## Abstract The purposes of this study were to define the tensile properties of each zone of the rabbit growth plate and to correlate them with the microarchitecture and biochemical composition of the zones. The epiphysisโgrowth plateโmetaphysis complex was obtained from the radius and ulna of 20 8
