The mechanical bonding of methylmethacrylate to cancellous bone. Effect of a hemostatic agent
DR Lange
The bonding of methylmethacrylate to cancellous bone was tested in shear
both in control specimens and in those in which microfibrillar collagen had
been previously used as a hemostatic agent. The breaking load and energy to
failure were significantly lowered by the microfibrillar collagen.
