Fig. 4From: A biomechanical test model for evaluating osseous and osteochondral tissue adhesivesFailure analysis of reconstructed metaphyseal bone. The different type of failure is shown for Tisseel (b) and OsStic (a). In all Tisseel samples failure clearly occurred at the Tisseel/tissue interface (adhesive failure) and the entire plug, including the Tisseel material, was pulled out completely. In 6/8 OsStic samples failure occurred in cancellous bone, rather than within OsStic (cohesive failure) or at the OsStic/tissue interface (adhesive failure) (c)Back to article page
