In order for global buckling to occur, the length-to-diameter ratio needs to be less than 6.
No. You have that backwards.
"In general, to avoid global buckling of galvanized and cold-formed
steel tubes in the structural applications, the L/D ratio needs to be < 6."

I'm trying to find articles or studies that said the compressive force to break a whole femur is the same as breaking a midshaft only segment but still can't find it.
Probably because it is false.

Sorry for the mistake. Thank you for noticing. I was rushing when typing and sleepy

Sorry, why is it false.

You are cherry-picking with a search engine.
If it were true, you would expect to find a cherry.

Is there a study where they demonstrated the compressive force of whole humeri?

Probably yes.
But finding that research is your problem.
