Biomechanical comparison of bone graft used in anterior spinal reconstruction : freeze-dried demineralized femoral segments versus fresh fibular segments and tricortical iliac blocks in autopsy specimens

This study compares the compression strength of frozen corticocancellous iliac blocks and short fibular segments with freeze-dried, partially ("surface") demineralized microperforated (FDPDM) short femoral segments. Three blocks from each iliac crest and segments from the fibular and femor...
