Abstract: ABSTRACT AN APPARATUS FOR FEMUR BONE FRACTURE LOAD TESTING WITH ADJUSTABLE DISPLACEMENT RATES AND ANGULAR POSITIONING The present invention discloses an apparatus (100) for biomechanical fracture load testing of a femur bone specimen. The apparatus comprises a frame (102), a hydraulic actuator (104) configured to apply compressive load along a loading axis, a specimen holding assembly (106) configured to support the femur bone specimen, an angular adjustment mechanism (108) configured to vary orientation of the specimen relative to the loading axis, and a displacement control system (110) configured to control actuation of the hydraulic actuator. The specimen holding assembly includes opposing gripping members adapted for irregular bone geometry and adjustable elements for accommodating femur specimens of varying dimensions. The displacement control system regulates actuation of the hydraulic actuator to apply load under selectable displacement rates, while the angular adjustment mechanism enables positioning of the specimen at defined orientations relative to the loading axis. The apparatus further includes a load cell operatively connected to a data acquisition system for real-time monitoring of applied load. The coordinated operation of the displacement control system and the angular adjustment mechanism enables application of load under controlled displacement rates and specimen orientations to generate reproducible fracture responses across femur specimens of different geometries.
