Abstract

The survival of irradiated homograft cartilage was investigated in cats at three- to nine-week and 14- to 16-month intervals. Compared to fresh homograft and autograft cartilage grafts, irradiated homografts showed significantly higher resorption and bony replacement. It was also clear that irradiated cartilage survived as a nonviable implant.
