Cancellous Bone Support for Patellar Resurfacing
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the compressive resistance of the cancellous bone in nine fresh specimens of human patellae. Standardized radiographic assessment and subsequent osteotomies were performed on each specimen. Grid patterns based on patellar anatomy enabled topographic compression on a material test system (MTS) Model 835 Bionix Universal Testing Machine (MTS Corporation, Minneapolis, MN) using a 4-mm diameter indentor. …
