Abstract

The piezoelectric effect was measured in samples of human bone and repeated with the same samples after either demineralization or decollagenation. The results indicate that at least part and possibly all of the piezoelectric effect found in whole bone arises from the organic component. The existence of two alternatives results from the unknown role of the collagen-mineral interface. In either case, bone mineral per se makes no contribution to the piezoelectric effect in bone.
