Abstract

A series of laboratory canines were used to determine the feasibility of using the structural frequency response function to assess the state of healing in the surgically altered radius of each animal. At the conclusion of the study, all radii were tested to failure to determine their strength. In all cases, the data collected from the frequency response measurements correlated well with the strength data. These results indicate the potential of the structural frequency response as a diagnosic aid for dealing with fracture healing.
