Failure 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)
