title: The shear strength of trabecular bone from the femur, and some factors affecting the shear strength of the cement-bone interface.
abstract: The shear strength of trabecular bone from the femur has been studied. In general, the strongest trabecular bone is found close to the cortico-cancellous junction, though its shear strength depends also on the relationship of the trabeculae to the plane of shear. Some factors affecting the shear strength of the cement-bone interface have been investigated. In vitro, maximal cement-bone interface shear strength is obtained by exposing and thoroughly cleaning strong trabecular bone, and then forcing onto it under pressure low viscosity cement.
