Schema of three-point bending test. The tibia was placed on two fulcra, spaced 15Â mm apart, and a load was applied from the posterior toward the anterior surface of the tibia at a rate of 2Â mm/min. The load was applied at the midpoint between the fulcra and was increased until the tibia fractured. Ant. anterior, Post. posterior, Prox. proximal, Dist. distal
