MémoirePropriétés mécaniques de greffons humains provenant de têtes fémorales et traitées par un procédé d’épuration physico-chimique (Ostéopure™)Mechanical properties of human femoral head allografts after physico-chemical treatment (Osteopure™)

Purpose of the study Bone grafts and bone substitutes must be biocompatible osteoconductors with satisfactory mechanical properties similar to native bone. When the bone treatment is conducted under specific conditions, the elasticity module under infra-maximal loading can be optimized to achieve reproducible values. The purpose of this work was to determine the effect of the cleaning and sterilization process using Osteopure™ on the biomechanical properties of trabecular bone harvested from human femoral heads.
