Impacted morsellised bone is widely used for filling bone deficiencies during revision of total hip arthroplasties. However, the physical properties and mechanical behaviour of this bone material are still not well understood. In this study we recorded the increase of stiffness in pellets of morsellised bone during their construction. The construction of bone pellets was measured stroke-by-stroke to ascertain optimal stiffness. We have derived an impact-constrained module of elasticity, which represents the dynamic resistance in the granulated bone mass to impaction. Drop level of the impaction slap hammer increases constrained bone stiffness during impaction and load. However, increasing the number of impaction strokes at the highest drop level does not improve stiffness properties; no significant increase in stiffness was achieved after five strokes on each layer of morsellised bone.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, HBNI, Mumbai, India.
Aims: Establish oncologic safety using 50 Gy to sterilize tumor bearing bone before reimplantation in primary diaphyseal high grade extremity tumors, determine extracorporeal radiotherapy (ECRT) graft survival, and analyze factors that affect union at osteotomy sites.
Materials And Methods: Seventy non metastatic patients underwent reconstruction with intercalary ECRT grafts sterilized with 50 Gy. Diagnosis included osteosarcoma (38) and Ewing's sarcoma (32).

Background:: Bisphosphonates have previously been shown to increase the density of impacted graft bone. In the present study we hypothesise that bisphosphonates also reduce early stem subsidence. We examined the effect of locally applied bisphosphonate to allografts on prosthetic micromotion and bone density in femoral stem revision with impaction grafting.

Impaction bone grafting is a method of restoring bone stock to patients suffering significant bone loss due to revision total hip surgery. The procedure requires morselised bone (MB) to be impacted into the site of bone loss in order to stabilise the prosthesis with the aim of the long term resorption and reintegration of the impacted bone graft. Currently, the method for producing MB requires the use of expensive surgical bone mills or manually-intensive rongeurs that can produce a limited variety of particle sizes and may have a low throughput.

Impaction bone grafting is a method of restoring bone stock to patients who have suffered significant bone loss due to revision total hip surgery. The procedure requires morsellised cancellous bone (MCB) to be impacted into the site of bone loss in order to stabilise the prosthesis with the aim of long term resorption and reintegration of the impacted bone graft. Due to financial cost and the potential to transmit disease, the use of supplementary material, known as an extender, is frequently used to increase the graft material volume.

Background: Acetabular cup loosening is among the main reasons for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). The implantation of a cryopreserved morsellised bone allograft is a reference method for filling bone defects. However, the outcomes of bone grafts treated with viral inactivation and secured into the host bone (notably using a reinforcement device) are unclear.
