Abstract
Experimental equipment for in-vivo registrations of pull-out load vs d isplacement, applied torque vs angle of rotation, and lateral load vs lateral displacement has been developed. The set-up is designed for te sting three implants inserted ina row and osseointegrated in, for inst ance, the proximal tibia of the beagle dog. The details of the set-up are described and considerations of the stress distributions are repor ted. (C) 1998 IPEM. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
