Axial and shear pullout forces of composite, porcine and human metatarsal and cuboid bones

Objectives: The varying mechanical properties of human bone have influence on the study results. Pullout and shear forces of human bone were compared to different substitutes to evaluate their suitability for biomechanical studies. Methods: After bone mineral density (BMD) determination, axial pullo...
