Correlation graphs of failure loads and stiffness values, right versus left femur of each specimen (Bivariate Scattergrams with regression lines and 95% confidence bands). a, b Failure loads of the right versus the left femur. Light rats (> 400 g, a) show a strong correlation. In heavy animals (> 400 g, b) a wide range between both sides was evident. c, d Stiffness values of the right versus the left sides. In light and heavy animals, no correlations between both sides could be seen
