author keywords: vibration; external fixation pin; interface; loosening; nondestructive
MeSH headings : Animals; Bone Nails; Bone and Bones / pathology; Dogs; External Fixators; Osteolysis / diagnosis; Vibration
topics (OpenAlex): Bone fractures and treatments; Dental Implant Techniques and Outcomes; Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation
TL;DR: Frequency and quasistatic tests of dissected pin–bone structures revealed a good correlation between natural frequency and pin-bone interface stiffness, and the measurement of natural frequency was more sensitive to bone structure changes at the pin–bones interface than low-load quasi-static stiffness.
