Design, characterisation and in vivo testing of a new, adjustable stiffness, external fixator for the rat femur
Very little is known about the influence of the mechanical environment on the healing of large segmental defects. This partly reflects the lack of standardised, well characterised technologies to enable such studies. Here we report the design, construction and characterisation of a novel external fi...
