SUMMARY Single element foil type strain gages have been bonded to the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral aspects of the canine femur, tibia, and humerus at mid‐diaphysis. When clinically normal locomotion had returned following surgery, recordings of the characteristic deformation patterns were made. Analysis of the data indicated that the tension band sides of the femur and tibia are anterolateral and that of humerus is anteromedial. The limitations of using foil type strain gages in making these assumptions have been discussed.
