Abstrakt: Bone processing and radiation were reported to influence mechanical properties of cortical bones due in part to structural changes and denaturation of collagen composition. This comparative study was to determine effects of bone processing on mechanical properties and organic composition, and to what extent the radiation damaging after each processing. Human femur cortical bones were processed by freezing, freeze-drying and demineralisation and then gamma irradiated at 5, 15, 20, 25 and 50 kGy. In the compression test, freeze drying significantly decreased the Young's Modulus by 15%, while demineralisation reduced further by 90% (P < 0.05) when compared to the freezing. Only demineralisation significantly reduced ultimate strength of bone by 93% (P < 0.05). In the bending test, both freeze drying and demineralisation significantly reduced the ultimate strength and the work to failure. Radiation at 25 kGy showed no effect on compression for ultimate strength in each processing group. However, high dose of 50 kGy significantly reduced bending ultimate strength by 47% in demineralisation group. Alterations in collagen in bones irradiated at 25 and 50 kGy showed by the highest peak of the amide I collagen in the Fourier Transfer Infra-Red spectra indicating more collagen was exposed after calcium was removed in the demineralised bone, however radiation showed no effect on the collagen crosslink. The study confirmed that demineralisation further reduced the ability to resist deformation in response to an applied force in freeze-dried bones due to calcium reduction and collagen composition. Sterilisation dose of 25 kGy has no effect on mechanical properties and collagen composition of the processed human cortical bone.
