肩关节假体拉伸测试
要求布莱顿大学医学院著名骨科外科医生Keith Borowsky先生正在开发一种用于肩关节重建的新型骨科假体。肩假体用于代替老年人跌倒时骨折的肩膀，偶尔还可以在高能量的汽车碰撞或直接暴力创伤后进行。它们也可用于需要肩关节置换的其他情况，例如关节炎患者。假体需要进行测试，以确保它们正确地附着在周围的骨骼和肌腱上，从而可靠地复制了肩膀的解剖结构。这项研究将确保患者在替代肩关节中保持良好的强度和活动度。

What is a three-point bend test?
A three-point bend test is a widely used method for determining the flexural properties of materials. It involves applying a load at the midpoint of a specimen supported at two points, creating a bending force.
