The natural frequency of fracture fragments has been measured at various times in the course of healing of 11 midshaft tibial fractures. The major fragments manifest different frequencies which are themselves distinct from that of the intact bone. It has been shown that the difference in frequency between the major fragments falls with time, so that the separate frequencies approach a common value which corresponds with the healed state. The results have been used to construct a model healing curve, against which other tibial fractures can be compared.
在11例胫骨干中段骨折愈合过程中的不同时间测量了骨折碎片的固有频率。主要骨折碎片表现出不同的频率，这些频率本身与完整骨骼的频率不同。研究表明，主要骨折碎片之间的频率差异随时间减小，因此各自的频率趋近于一个与愈合状态相对应的共同值。这些结果已被用于构建一条模型愈合曲线，其他胫骨干骨折可与之进行比较。
