From: Load and failure behavior of human muscle samples in the context of proximal femur replacement
Experimental setup with three different sample types: Left: Alignment of the muscle fibers parallel to the tension load. Middle: The bone was attached at the lower clamp while the plastinated muscle end was clamped on top. Right: The connection tube was pulled over the metallic cylinder, while the sutures that connect the muscle to the tube were aligned downwards to the cylinder
