title: Tensile strength of bone (bone/porous polyethylene) interface.
abstract: An average tensile strength of 1.35 kgf/mm2 (1920 psi) was obtained. Comparison of all results with related studies on metallic and ceramic implants indicates the overall superiority of plastics as porous implants for many applications.
