Experimental and finite element analysis of tibial stress fractures using a rabbit model

Figure 9 Rabbit finite element model showing the von Mises stresses. A: Posterior view: High stresses were found along the posterior surface; these were most prominent around 25% level, which is shown in red; B: A section through the 50% level. The highest stress (which is compressive) is on the posterior surface, which is consistent with the stress results presented in Figure 8B.
