title = "A simple compression test to predict the mechanical stability of synthetic bone graft extenders in impaction grafting",
abstract = "A basic standardized compression test of bone grafts was compared with the stability measured during endurance tests using a complex impaction grafting model. The correlation was used to reduce cost, increase speed, improve accuracy and reproducibility for selecting ceramic graft extenders potentially suitable for impaction grafting. It was found that adding ceramic granules to bone graft could significantly increase the mechanical stability in impaction grafting. It was found that the influence of different ceramic configurations on stability correlated well with the moduli and dust weight fractions measured using the simple compression test.",
