Development of a Novel Method for the Strengthening and Toughening of Irradiation-Sterilized Bone Allografts used in Orthopaedic Reconstructions
comments
Over 900,000 bone-grafting procedures are performed each year in the USA 1 . Human bone allografts are used in the orthopaedic reconstruction of skeletal defects resulting from traumatic injuries, diseases and revision arthroplasty however, bone allografts have insufficient mechanical properties 2 and graft fracture is a documented clinical failure mode 3 ...
Facial depressed defects are a prevalent cosmetic issue, which can result from a variety of causes including severely inflamed acne, chicken pox, and trauma...
The remarkable mechanical properties of bone are attributed to the hierarchical organization of microscopic structures made up of collagen and mineral spanning across the nano- to microscale 1 ...
