Q

Which bone graft substitute has the highest early compressive strength

A

Calcium Phosphate
CaPO

It is injected, then hardens into dahllite, which is 4 to 10 times harder than cancellous bone.

Strain <2 %

17
Q

What is the name of the process by which secondary bone healing occurs

A

Endochondral bone healing occurs via chondrocyte activity (callus formation)
Strain of 2 to 10 %

18
