Welcome to the European Society of Biomechanics

The European Society of Biomechanics was founded in 1976 at a meeting in Brussels of 20 scientists from 11 countries. Our goal is to encourage research, disseminate knowledge and promote progress in Biomechanics. It is now the largest Biomechanics society in Europe with over 1500 members.

High-speed video of in vitro fracture of the proximal femur

In vitro sideways fall: fracture was filmed with a high-speed camera (20000fps). The first sign of fracture on the medial side is visible in frame (B). Frame (A) was taken 0.8msec before (B). Fracture is completely visible in (C), 114msec after frame (B)
