## Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to apply the techniques of fracture mechanics to a study of fatigue crack propagation in compact bone. Small cracks parallel to the long axis of the bone were initiated in standardized specimens of bovine bone. Crack growth was achieved by cyclicall
The micromechanisms of fatigue fracture in bone cements were explored and characterized in this investigation. Fatigue crack initiation sites were identified and the microscopic features responsible for crack initiation are illustrated. Differences in the fracture morphology of PMMA beads, in early
