Abstract

A review of the literature dealing with the injury tolerance of the lower extremities in quantitative terms is provided. The strength of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (skin bone) have been depicted primarily in terms of the peak axial compressive force or bending moment associated with fracture-producing tests. Peak force involved in fracturing the patella (knee cap) are reported for static and dynamic distributed loads involving both padded and rigid contact surfaces.
