Summary:Biomechanical studies with reliable clinical applicability are challenging to carry out. The results can be heavily dependent on the materials being tested (condition and ages of specimens), environmental conditions (temperature, moisture), magnitude and direction of loading, loading characteristics (static, dynamic), loading cycles and frequency, and how one measures and defines failure. The interested reader gains more confidence in the results and recommendations of a biomechanics study if the methodology reasonably models real-world scenarios and multiple studies from different labs all come to the same general conclusion.
