Fig. 9From: Mechanical performance of porous biomimetic intervertebral body fusion devices: an in vitro biomechanical studyMechanical properties before and after hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment. After hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment, there were significant changes of mechanical properties. In the dynamic tests, the runout load of compression, shear and torsion tests were all increased; while for the stretching test, the tensile strength was significantly decreased, and the yield strength and stretching rate were significantly increasedBack to article page
