摘要: Abstract Canine cancellous bone is used as a model for human in experimental orthopedic research, including models of total knee arthroplasty. Depth-force measurements produced by small-diameter indentation testing were to derive the variation Young's modulus over transverse cross-sectional surface at three levels within proximal canine tibia. At most section presence lateral and medial peaks equal (∼1100 MPa) was found. Modulus averages resection revealed trend distally decreasing values, from 692 MPa proximally 417 distally. Average regional values tibia 50–75% higher than previously reported healthy young adult humans, although local maxima only 5–20% greater canines.
