Abstract:
To improve the knowledge about the mechanical properties of trabecular bone it is necessary to assess the properties at micrometer scale. Testing of isolated human trabeculae is highly influenced by precision of the sample preparation. Article deals with description of the pre-testing procedure for the uniaxial testing, nanoindentation and finite element modelling of single trabeculae. Undesirable mechanical, biological and chemical influences have to be excluded during this procedure.
