Aims. To examine the relationship of sex steroid hormones with osteopenia in a nationally representative sample of men in the USA. Methods. Data on
During the last decades, several research groups have used bisphosphonates for local application to counteract secondary bone resorption after bone grafting, to improve implant fixation or to control bone resorption caused by
Aims. To characterize the intracellular penetration of osteoblasts and osteoclasts by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the antibiotic and detergent susceptibility of MRSA in
1. Experiments to examine the antigenicity of homologous bone tissues in rats are reported. The tissues studied included fresh marrow-free cortical
1. The antigenicity of homologous cortical and cancellous
Intermittent treatment with parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an anabolic effect on both intact cancellous and cortical
We treated 26 patients with 27 aneurysmal
There have been conflicting reports on the effects of gamma irradiation on the material properties of cortical allograft
Aims. The management of acetabular defects at the time of revision hip arthroplasty surgery is a challenge. This study presents the results of a long-term follow-up study of the use of irradiated allograft
1. A series of experiments on adult rabbits was carried out in which a tendon was transplanted and embedded in a bony tunnel and traversed a joint after the manner of a tenodesis. 2. Histological observations were made on the reaction of surrounding
Objectives. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported as key regulators of bone formation, signalling, and repair. Fracture healing is a proliferative physiological process where the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. The aim of our study was to explore the effects of microRNA-186 (miR-186) on fracture healing through the
Aims. Loosening is a well-known complication in the fixation of fractures using devices such as locking plates or unilateral fixators. It is believed that high strains in the
Objectives. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) mobilises
Aims. Antibiotic-loaded
We describe a patient with insufficient

Objectives. Microindentation has the potential to measure the stiffness of an individual patient’s
Objectives. Little is known about tissue changes underlying bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in non-weight-bearing joints with osteoarthritis (OA). Our aim was to characterize BMLs in OA of the hand using dynamic histomorphometry. We therefore quantified
Aims. To devise a method to quantify and optimize tightness when inserting cortical screws, based on
