## Abstract Until now, the mechanical properties of the microcalluses that form in human cancellous bone have been unexplained. We measured the microβhardnesses of microcalluses in cancellous bone, of the trabeculae within the microcalluses, of the trabeculae adjacent to microcalluses, and of trabe

## Abstract Freezeβdrying and gamma irradiation are commonly used for preservation and sterilization in bone banking. The cumulative effects of preparation and sterilization of cancellous graft material have not been adequately studied, despite the clinical importance of graft material in orthopaed
## Abstract Allogeneic bone grafts are frequently sterilized by means of ionizing radiation. We investigated the effects of ionizing radiation on both quasistatic and impact mechanical properties of human bone. Specimens from four paired femora of four donors received doses of 29.5 kGy (βStandardβ
