Abstract:
:This study evaluated the feasibility of assessing continuous strain distributions on fracture callus cross-sections with an electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) system. Mid-sagittal callus cross-sections were harvested from ovine tibiae. One low stiffness (LS) specimen and one high stiffness (HS) specimen were selected to evaluate the feasibility for strain acquisition over a range of callus properties. The HS specimen was 147 times stiffer in compression than the LS specimen. ESPI captured continuous strain distributions on both specimens. Peak strain was located adjacent to cortical boundaries in the osteotomy gap. In response to 5N compression, peak compressive strain of 5.8% in the LS specimen was over two orders of magnitude higher than peak compressive strain of 0.013% in the HS specimen. In conclusion, ESPI-based strain acquisition enables reproducible quantification of strain distributions on callus cross-sections. Such measurements may support validation of computational models and evaluation of experimental results in fracture healing research.
