Human femoral and tibial whole bone specimens were subjected to torsional loading at high strain rates. Torque vs. angular deflection was recorded. Strain energy before fracture and torsional stiffness were calculated, and mean values were obtained as follows: mean torsional stiffness for femoral bones, 562 nm/r [radius] and for tibial bones, 101 nm; mean maximum torque for femoral bones, 183 nm and for tibial bones, 101 nm; mean ultimate deflection, 20.degree. for femoral bone specimens and 23.degree. 7 for tibial bone specimens; mean energy absorption for femoral bone specimens, 35 J and for tibial bones, 25 J. A high variability of these mechanical parameters occurred. Apparently, the variation in geometry of the bone structures accounts for the variation of the mechanical behavior of bony structures.
