## 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 (“Standard”

The importance of the mechanical role of collagen in bone is becoming increasingly more clear as evidence mounts on the detrimental effects of altered collagen on the mechanical properties of bone. We previously examined a set of mechanical properties (material stiffness, strength, and toughness) of
## Abstract The mechanical properties of cortical and trabecular bones from beagles treated with the bisphosphonate pamidronate (administered intermittently 1 week every month for 3 months, at a dosage of 0.45 μmol/kg/day) were assessed. The mechanical properties of cortical bone were measured by f
