1. Isografts of articular cartilage of young rats, with mucoproteins labelled with . 35. S, extracellular fibrous proteins labelled with . 3. H-glycine, and nuclei labelled with . 3. H-thymidine, were transplanted into the anterior chamber of the eye. 2. Thin split-thickness transplants of the cells of the gliding surface of immature articular cartilage induced the formation of fibrous tissue. 3. Thick transplants and subsurface slices of immature articular cartilage, containing germinal cells of the epiphysial cartilage, induced the formation of new
1. A radiographic investigation of a group of 241 men who had worked in compressed air at pressures up to 35 pounds per square inch gauge on the construction of tunnels under the River Clyde showed that forty-seven men (19 per cent) had one or more lesions of aseptic necrosis of

Low-energy fractures of the proximal humerus indicate osteoporosis and it is important to direct treatment to this group of patients who are at high risk of further fracture. Data were prospectively collected from 79 patients (11 men, 68 women) with a mean age of 69 years (55 to 86) with fractures of the proximal humerus in order to determine if current guidelines on the measurement of the
We prospectively investigated a consecutive series of ten patients undergoing a cemented primary total hip replacement (THR) for osteoarthritis in order to establish the elution characteristics of Simplex-tobramycin

We report the results of 79 patients (81 hips)
who underwent impaction grafting at revision hip replacement using the
Exeter femoral stem. Their mean age was 64 years (31 to 83). According
to the Endoklinik classification, 20 hips had a type 2

Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a disorder characterised by pain, and associated with temporary osteopaenia. Although osteopaenia is the essence of the condition, data do not exist about the local
We implanted nails made of titanium (Ti6Al4V) and of two types of glass ceramic material (RKKP and AP40) into healthy and osteopenic rats. After two months, a histomorphometric analysis was performed and the affinity index calculated. In addition, osteoblasts from normal and osteopenic

Two cases of benign osteoblastic tumours of the spine, occurring in young patients, and presenting as expanding osteolytic lesions with some central calcification and ossification, are described. It is suggested that they represent a condition allied to, but usefully separated from, osteoid osteoma of

We identified eight patients of 2900 with a primary malignant bone tumour who had coexisting neurofibromatosis type 1. This was a much higher incidence than would be expected by chance. The patients had a mean age of 22.4 years (9 to 54): five were male. Two patients subsequently developed a second
