Background/Overview: The purpose of this requirement is to support the acquisition of a Bose Test Bench System, Torsion Only, 5.6NM 4x2 PCI (Brand name or Equal). The torsional stiffness and strength of long bones is measured by fixturing a sample between a motor and reaction bracket and applying a known rotational displacement and measuring resulting torque via a load cell. Torsional testing is advantageous compared to bending (3-point or 4-point), due to the fact that the torsional moment is the same throughout the sample and as a result, the torsional stiffness is not affected by the orientation of asymmetric calluses or the position of the support posts as is the case in 3-point bending. For these reasons, reporting of torsional stiffness and strength have become key metrics in the evaluation of regenerative therapies aimed at bone healing.
