Prevention of biofilm formation is a key factor when developing bone-interfacing biomaterials to reduce the spread of bacterial infections and the need for antibiotic treatment 1 ...
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 ...
