In this article a new measuring system for biomechanical studies of various osteosynthesis procedures on the tibia is described. The paired tibias are osteotomized and embedded in PMMA in accordance with a randomization protocol. Testing is then carried out under nonaxial loading at 350 N, 600 N and 900 N, uniaxial bending applying a force of 12 Nm, and torsion at a force of 5 Nm in a universal pneumatic testing machine. Ultrasonic sensors pick up movement at the fracture gap under external loading. Testing of the measuring setup has been successful, and relevant results were obtained.
