Gamma Radiation Sterilization Reduces the High-cycle Fatigue Life of Allograft Bone

BACKGROUND: Sterilization by gamma radiation impairs the mechanical properties of bone allografts. Previous work related to radiation-induced embrittlement of bone tissue has been limited mostly to monotonic testing which does not necessarily predict the high-cycle fatigue life of allografts in vivo...
