Figure 6

Adhesive bonding strength of cemented osteosynthesis plates. Average adhesive bonding strength and standard deviation measured in tension tests. The primary stability of the adhesive fixed plates is determined directly after cementation (without storing the samples, 0d). Samples prepared with the amphiphilic bone bonding agent (light green column on the right side) and, as a reference, without the bone bonding agent (light green column on the left side). The diagram also shows the effects on the adhesion strength of both moist storage (dark blue columns) and wet storage (light blue columns) for 1 and 42 days at 37 degrees C.
