Three-point bending/breaking test set-up with the two different platform options. A) The three-point bending/breaking device strapped into a ZWICK-testing machine type Z020/TND (ZWICK-/Roell, Ulm, Germany) with a solid aluminum block as contact point for the distal diaphyseal tibia. B) Overview of the ZWICK-testing machine and the three-point bending/breaking device with the mobile, ball-mounted platform as contact point for the distal diaphyseal tibia.
