Conclusions 1. Upon maturation, bone callus not only goes through a series of morphological chantes but also changes in mechanical properties. This is true primarily for an increase in the elasticity modulus. 2. The specific energy of dispersion and loss modulus have maxima which occur after 25 to 30 days. This behavior is apparently related to the fact that bone callus at this period has the nature of spongy bone tissue. For compact bone tissue, on the other hand, these values are equal to zero. 3. The area of the hysteresis loop is almost completely independent of the frequency upon cyclic stressing. 4. The elasticity modulus is proportional to the x-ray density of the samples, which thus may serve as an objective criterion of the degree of maturity of callus.
