Comparative Biomechanical and Microstructural Analysis of Native versus Peracetic Acid-Ethanol Treated Cancellous Bone Graft
Figure 1
(a)–(h) Biomechanical testing. Native cancellous bone (NCB) (right) and peracetic acid-ethanol (PE)-treated (left) cancellous bone allograft (CBG) cylinders were incubated for 24 h in saline prior to biomechanical testing (a). The dimensions of the cylindric bone allografts ( mm) are shown in (b) and (c). Axial compression was performed using an Instron Wolpert 5566 material testing device (d). NCB (e, f) and PE-treated (g), (h) CBG cylinders before (e), (g) and after (f), (h) axial compression loading.
