German term or phrase: Verzahnung
It's a text about vertebral fractures:

Dies wird unterstützt, wenn man - wie in den Arbeiten von Drees und Lechner – über die gravierenden biomechanischen Veränderungen auch durch unzureichende Verzahnung nachdenkt.

Hier schafft derzeit die Radiofrequenz-Kyphoplastie als einziges Verfahren den Spagat zwischen Aufrichtung und sehr guter Verzahnung von Spongiosa und Zement ({ut1}S. xxx{ut2}).

What is the meaning of Verzahnung in this context?
Isn't interlocking/ interplay?

Thanks for your help.
