## 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 The effects of ^60^Co gamma irradiation on the initial mechanical properties of the composite boneβpatellar tendonβbone unit (CU) and the tendon midsubstance (TM) were studied. Frozen specimens were exposed to either 2 or 3 Mrad of gamma irradiation. Paired frozen specimens served as in
