Impact of NaOH based perfusion-decellularization protocol on mechanical resistance of structural bone allografts.

Descriptive statistical results suggest a tendency for the biomechanical characteristics of decellularized bone to decrease compared with the control group. However, statistical inferences demonstrated a slight significant superiority of the control group with destructive mechanical stresses. Nondestructive mechanical tests (within the elastic phase of Young's modulus) were not significantly different.
