Abstract
A force measurement device has been designed to monitor the mechanical properties of fracture site with external fixation. Forces are measur ed through electric resistance strain gauges mounted on fixation frame work and the measurement results are displayed on an LCD screen. The d evice features a force range of 0-10 kg with linearity and repeatabili ty less than 1% and accuracy less than 0.1 kg.
