Abstract
The mechanical properties of avascular and revascularizing bone and their mineral content were studied in thirty adult dogs. The strength and mineral content of avascular bone decreased in the early phase of avascular necrosis, and with revascularization the bone-mineral content increased but the mechanical strength decreased further. In the normal bone the mechanical strength increased with an increase in mineral content.Keywords
