Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta, and androgen receptor genes with knee osteoarthritis
(2005)Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation in the estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ER-alpha, ER-beta) and androgen ... -
Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2014)This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ... -
A capsular-based vascularized distal radius graft for proximal pole scaphoid pseudarthrosis
(2006)Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of the application of a capsular-based dorsal distal radius vascularized bone graft in scaphoid proximal pole nonunions. Methods: Thirteen patients with symptomatic nonunion at the ... -
Influence of orthotopic placement on the incorporation and mechanical strength of a loaded structural cortical graft: An experimental study in rabbits
(2000)The biological and mechanical behavior of loaded cortical autografts were evaluated in an experimental study using 40 adult male New Zealand rabbits divided into 4 groups. A double osteotomy was performed on all animals ... -
A radiographic study of proximal radius anatomy with implications in radial head replacement
(2003)Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs of 20 healthy volunteers' forearms were taken in three views (full supination, neutral rotation, and full pronation). Radial head maximum diameter and angular measurements between ... -
Recommendations for standardization and phenotype definitions in genetic studies of osteoarthritis: the TREAT-OA consortium
(2011)Objective: To address the need for standardization of osteoarthritis (OA) phenotypes by examining the effect of heterogeneity among symptomatic (SOA) and radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) phenotypes. Methods: Descriptions ... -
Scaphoid nonunions treated with vascularised bone grafts: MRI assessment
(2004)Purpose: To assess the value of MR imaging (MRI) with regard to union, graft viability and proximal pole bone marrow status, after use of vascularized bone grafts for treating scaphoid nonunions. Materials and methods: ... -
Scaphoid nonunions: Management with vascularized bone grafts from the distal radius: A clinical and functional outcome study
(2007)Background: Scaphoid nonunions remain controversial with regard to optimal management, especially for those located at the proximal third. In this study, the authors aim to assess the union rate, avascular proximal pole ... -
Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ... -
Structural properties of the axis studied in cadaveric specimens
(2004)Peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans of the axis in 20 fresh cadaveric specimens obtained at autopsy were studied to investigate the internal structural properties of the axis. In all specimens, serial scans ... -
Vascularized periosteal flaps of distal forearm and hand
(2005)Background: Vascularized periosteal flaps (VPFs) are flexible osteogenic flaps, suitable for the reconstruction of small skeletal defects. Pedicled VPFs, harvested near the recipient site, minimize donor-site morbidity and ...
