Type A fractures by AO classification were simulated on eight human cadaveric specimens (2 shoulder segments, 3 femur and 3 crus segments). Fixion nails with plastic deformation were used for fixation. The magnitude of force resulting in bone fragments displacement was determined using universal machine at CITO test laboratory. On the basis of the obtained results the recommendations on the potential load in early postoperative period were given.
