Freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) which either had or had not been sterilized by exposure to ethylene oxide (EtO) prior to lyophilization was obtained from two commercial sources. EtO-sterilized FDBA was reexposed to EtO as a positive control. Gas chromatograph assays revealed that three out of fou
The effects of preservation and sterilization on the structural properties of cortical bone were investigated. Specimens of cortical bone from rat tibiae were frozen (-70Β°C for 28 days), freeze-dried, irradiated (1, 5, 25 and 50 kGy) or autoclaved (at 134Β°C for 3 or 5 rain), and examined by scanning
