Abstract
A new theoretical basis is proposed for the biomechanism of fractures of the diaphysis of long tubular bones resulting from bending deformation. Bone damage is shown to result from the concentration of maximum tensile stresses on the tension side and shear stresses in the compression zone. The origin of fan-shaped cracks and oblique fractures, occurring individually or in combination, is explained in these terms.
