Biomechanical compressive aspects of canine femoral shafts preserved in 98% glycerin or honey

This study aimed at evaluating the axial compressive resistance of fresh canine femoral shafts (group F), canine femoral shafts preserved in 98% glycerin (group G) or honey (group M) for a 30-day period. The femoral shafts (50 samples in each group) were submitted to biomechanical evaluation in a machine of axial compression in order to observe the pressure necessary to determine bone fissure. The shafts preserved in 98% glycerin or honey were rehydrated in saline 0.9% before evaluation. Bones stored in 98% glycerin have more resistance than bones preserved in honey and fresh implants presented the worst performance.
