“…Many early works (1975 or earlier) reported experimental data characterizing the material properties of various types of bone tissue [11,12]; for example, a study investigating the viscoelasticity of bone [13] was one of the earliest in the field [14,15]. Other early works went beyond characterization to develop models of skeletal diseases such as sciolosis [16] as well as more commonplace fractures [17]. Another early paper investigated the mechanical properties of bone in high impact loading as a model for trauma [18].…”

Biomechanics is a young field that entails the study of the mechanical aspects of the life and health sciences. The growth of this field can be attributed to the growth of cutting-edge technologies that enable scientists to investigate the mechanics of life with increasing acuity. Founded in 1961, the journal Experimental Mechanics (EM) has had an important role in the growth and scholarship of the field of biomechanics. From the mid-1960's to mid-1970's, relevant publications in EM focused on characterizing potential bioimplants and exploring the mechanical properties of connective tissues. The next two decades witnessed a clear drop in biomechanics papers in EM, perhaps due to the rise of biomechanics-specific societies and journals that offered a more dedicated audience while EM sought a more varied readership. More recently, there has been a resurgence of biomechanics publications in EM, including 3 recent special issues devoted to the subject. The journal has brought forth an impressive range of biomechanics related papers including cellular and nanoscale studies, characterization of biological tissues and novel biomaterials, and most importantly, the development of novel technologies and devices that are applicable across the entire field. Digital image correlation and digital volume correlation are examples of techniques presented in EM that have been applied to numerous biomechanics problems. Although the field has exhibited exponential growth in the past 15 years, a myriad of scientific questions, especially on the cellular and subcellular level, remain to be answered. EM should cultivate its future role in shaping this exciting field.

This paper deals with the performance of current designs of bone fixation plates, mounted on the anterior surface of fractured equine third metacarpals and tested in uniaxial compression. A full factorial experimental design on three variables, plate length, plate width, and fastener size provided 27 different variations of the basic design.All loads were normalized on mid-shaft bone geometry and compared to the ultimate compressive strength that could be expected of a similar bone of the same age. No capacities above 33% of the strength of an unfractured bone were observed.No replicate tests were conducted.
