Bone Strength and In-Flight Mechanical Stresses.
Abstract
A series of experiments were designed and implemented to provide data concerning the effect of resorable calcium aluminate ceramic implants on new bone growth in the local area of the implant, and in in vivo biochemical responses. Rhesus monkeys were used as hosts for the implants in the form of total or partial circumferential replacement of femur sections. Radiographic and biochemical analyses were obtained. Standard histological, scanning electron and light microscopy, light energy dispersive analysis, and electron-microprobe techniques were used in analyses of ceramic-bone specimens. Detailed results are compared to analysis of ceramic compositions and microstructures prior to implantation. (Author)
