## Abstract Cortical bone graft failure develops for poorly defined reasons, and the effects of the immune responses on the incorporation of an allograft are less clear. In a rat model of tibial allotransplantation, we have studied biometric and histological changes of the graft and the humoral imm

## Abstract With an increasing clinical use of deep frozen allograft for bone reconstruction, it is important to understand the immunological and biological events of allograft incorporation. In this study, we have investigated the impact of deep freezing on immunology and biopotency for incorporat
The effects of various preservation techniques on the biomechanical properties of bone have been investigated in a rat model. Freezing of the specimens to -20°C, -7O"C, and -196°C did not adversely affect the strength of long bones tested in torsion or of vertebral bodies tested in compression. Free
