25
Maximum tensile stress occurs on a plane _______________________(perpendicular/parallel) to the direction of applied load
perpendicular
26
Long bones are not well adapted to resist _____________ (uniaxial/biaxial) tensile loads which are not common during normal physiological activities
uniaxial
27
Define compression load
Compressive loading occurs when equal and opposite
loads are applied to push the ends of the bone closer
together.
28
Axial compression causes the bone to
shorten and widen
29
Define torsion load
Torsional loading occurs when opposite moments (rotational
forces) are applied to the ends of a bone, such that
the bone twists around the longitudinal axis
30
Torsional loading induces shear stresses in planes:
a) parallel
b) perpendicular
c) parallel and perpendicular
c) parallel and perpendicular
31
fracture becomes complete when a longitudinal
fissure occurs, connecting the
proximal and distal ends of the spiral crack.
32
The fracture originates where
shear stress is greatest on the periphery of the bone and
then propagates due to tensile stresses distracting bone
fragments along a spiral configuration until the fracture
ends are approximately parallel or above one another
33
Tensile loads cause the bone to elongate and narrow. Failure occurs due to tensile forces perpendicular to a transverse
plane. Tension from the suspensory ligament and distal sesamoidean ligaments influenced the transverse configuration of the
mid-body
proximal sesamoid bone fracture shown.
34
Compressive loads cause the bone to shorten and widen. Failure occurs along the plane of maximum shear stress,
oriented approximately 45° from the axis of compressive loading. An incomplete dorsal cortical stress fracture of the third metacarpal
bone illustrates a fracture due predominantly to compressive loading and shear failure. Source (inset): Based on O’Brien et al. [
35
Define bending load
When a bending load is applied, compressive stress is
induced on the concave side and tensile stress is induced
on the convex side of the deforming bone.
36
Bending creates a longitudinally oriented plane, called
the neutral axis, where neither compressive nor tensile stresses are
present
37
The greater the distance from the neutral axis, the ____________ the tensile or compressive stress
larger
38
Bending creates tensile and compressive loads on different sides of the bone. Failure occurs first on the side under tension resulting in a transverse distraction fracture. The fracture then propagates on the side under compression in an oblique configuration, with or without a butterfly fragment, illustrated by a Salter–Harris type II fracture of the proximal tibial physis in a 10-day-old foal and a mid-diaphyseal butterfly fracture of the third metatarsal bone in a foal.
39
Implants (such as intramedullary nails) that are positioned at the
neutral axis are exposed to lower or higher levels of bending?
lower
40
Failure is initiated on the tensile side which is convex or concave
convex side of the bone because bone material is weaker in tension
41
Tensile failure causes ______________ crack propagation
until compressive stresses on the concave side of the
bone induce failure in shear at 45° to the longitudinal axis
of the bone.
transverse
42
Failure along the plane of highest shear stress
drives the fracture line in oblique directions, producing an _________ fracture face or ________________ fragment
oblique or butterfly
43
Define shear force
A shear force is one that is applied parallel to a surface or
section through a bone, causing a tendency for surfaces or
sections to slide past one another
44
Shear forces predispose to which type of fractures?
A shear force is an external force acting on an object or surface parallel to the slope or plane in which the surface lies.

metacarpal bone predisposes to condylar fracture in Thoroughbred racehorse

53

Cyclic shear loading
55

density of the subchondral bone
56
