Lumbar diseases have become a major problem affecting human health worldwide. Conservative treatment of lumbar diseases is difficult to achieve ideal results, and surgical treatment of trauma, complications, it is imperative to develop a new treatment method.

We developed a rat model of limb lengthening to study the basic mechanism of distraction osteogenesis, using a small monolateral external fixator. In 11-week-old male rats we performed a subperiosteal osteotomy in the midshaft of the femur with distraction at 0.25 mm every 12 hours from seven days after operation. Radiological and histological examinations showed a growth zone of constant thickness in the middle of the lengthened segment, with formation of new bone at its proximal and distal ends. Osteogenic cells were arranged longitudinally along the tension vector showing the origin and the fate of individual cells in a single section. Typical endochondral bone formation was prominent in the early stage of distraction, but intramembraneous bone formation became the predominant mechanism of

Aims. After the initial correction of congenital talipes equinovarus
(CTEV) using the Ponseti method, a subsequent dynamic deformity
is often managed by transfer of the tendon of tibialis anterior

cuneiform should be ossified before surgery is undertaken. This
study quantifies the

Introduction. The hematoma occurring at a fracture site is known to play an important role in fracture healing. Previously, we demonstrated that fracture hematoma contained multilineage mesenchymal progenitor cells. On the other hand, the process of fracture healing is associated by two different mechanisms, intramembranous and endochondral. However, there are no reports proving the details about cellular analysis in the process of endochondoral
Introduction: Children with clubfoot treated by the Ponseti method of clubfoot management require anterior tibialis tendon transfer if there is persistent varus and supination deformity. However the size of bone is a determining factor in whether this transfer can be carried out. We have assesses the difference in the age at which the lateral cuneiform ossifies in normal feet compare with clubfeet. Methods: Foot x-rays of children less than 4 years old (AP view) carried out between 2003 and 2005 were obtained from the Radiology department Booth Hall Children’s Hospital. A total of 341 radiographs were analyzed. Exclusion criteria included: any condition affecting foot anatomy or weight bearing or any previous surgery (including surgery for clubfoot). The lateral cuneiform was measured with 1mm accuracy in the longest diameter. Results: We analysed the size of the lateral cuneiform in patients with and without clubfoot in relation to age. In children without clubfoot there was a R2 value of 0.517, showing a positive correlation between age and size of the bone. In children with clubfoot, R2 value was 0.207 showing no correlation between age and
