Definition:Isolated bone method in which the bone is held in a material testing apparatus consisting of four fittings (anvils or pins)--two supporting the bone from below and two positioned at a defined distance either side of the center applying a specified force from above. The force, or load, is applied at a specified rate, usually until the bone breaks, and the displacement, i.e. the bending of the bone, resulting from the applied load is recorded.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: four-point load test
