MicroCT images used to determine mode of failure after push-out testing. Crushing of the metal implant proximally occurred during push-out testing in a small pore titanium foam implant at 6 weeks (A). During push-out testing, a sintered beaded implant failed proximally within the bone (B) and a small pore titanium foam implant failed distally within the bone; both had been in vivo for 6 weeks. A large pore titanium foam implant in vivo for 12 weeks, failed at the bone-implant interface (D) during push-out testing.
