| Résumé : | The technique of holographic interferometry is described, whereby the effects of normal and abnormal stresses on bone structure can be visibly observed and measured. An account is given of the application of this technique to a study of the tibia and fibula in anatomical combination under axial stress, to ascertain the fibular contribution to the tibia in its dominant function. It is revealed thereby that the tibia functions so as to stiffen the tibia, limiting the extent to which it may yield to flexion stress and avoiding excessive traction on the tibial crest. |
