The objective of this study was to examine several simpleex vivoloading conditions for the equine metacarpus, and to evaluate their ability to reproduce the mid‐diaphyseal bone surface strain distributions previously reportedin vivoat the walk and trot. Distributed axial compressive loads, and 9 different axial compressive point loads at −7.5 kN and −15 kN were applied to metacarpal‐distal carpal bone preparations from 6 Thoroughbred horses, aged 1–5 years. The resulting dorsal, medial, palmar, and lateral mid‐diaphyseal bone surface axial and shear strains were compared with previously reportedin vivosurface strain distributions using a root mean square error (RMSE) protocol. The effects of loading condition and load magnitude on RMSE were assessed with a mixed‐model analysis of variance. There were significant differences between loading conditions, and, in most cases, between load magnitudes, in the fit of theex vivoto thein vivostrain distributions.In vivomid‐diaphyseal bone surface strain distributions at the walk can be well approximatedex vivoby a distributed axial compressive load, or by a point load positioned 0.5 cm mediad to the sagittal midline, at −7.5 kN loads.In vivomid‐diaphyseal bone surface strain distributions at the trot can be well approximated by the −15 kN loads applied to the same locations. These simplified loading conditions can be used in designing biologically relevant loading protocols forex vivomechanical testing studies, as well as in developing boundary conditions for finite element analysis.As such, these loading conditions may be considered as tools to be used as a means of replicatingin vivoloading conditions during the intial design and testing stages in the development of fracture fixation devices, as well as in the theoretical mechanical analysis of the metacarpal structure.
