Figure 2
Experimental setup (left) showing the mounted specimen in a bi-axial testing machine and the reamer mounted above. Reaming tools of matching sizes were used for each of the specimens. The insert shows a right sided innominate bone. The explosion view on the right top shows the hand piece of the reaming tool and a customized fixture to attach it to the bi-axial testing machine. Bottom right shows the top view of the acetabular region of a right sided innominate bone mounted in a mold prior to the reaming experiments. The cartilage is depicted in pink.
