Abstract:
Bone defects due to malignant tumor often lead to repeated surgery or amputation. Thus, a major objective in orthopedic surgery is the extracorporeal devitalization of tumor-bearing bone segments following reimplantation. Extracorporeal irradiation or autoclaving are possible methods even though they may cause severe loss of biomechanical and biological properties. Yet previous studies have shown that high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) allows for complete devitalization of tumor-afflicted bone segm...     »
