Influence of short-term fixation with mixed formalin or ethanol solution on the mechanical properties of human cortical bone

Influence of short-term fixation with mixed formalin or ethanol solution on the mechanical properties of human cortical bone

Bone specimens obtained for biomechanical experiments are fresh-frozen for storage to slow down tissue degradation and autolysis in long-term storage. Alternatively, due to infectious risks related to the fresh tissues, fixative agents are commonly used. However, fixatives will likely change the mec...
