چکیده

Fracture healing involves a highly integrated sequence of events through which bone is restored to its preinjured condition. The events that occur during healing have been classically divided into four phases: inflammation, soft callus, hard callus, and remodeling (Figure 1). Initially, during the inflammatory stage, a hematoma forms in response to the trauma, and the inflammatory cells in the hematoma débride the wound and may help recruit cells that facilitate repair. As skeletal progenitor cells are recruited and begin to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes, the hematoma is slowly transformed into a soft callus composed primarily of cartilage. At this time, osteoblasts form a collar of bone adjacent to the fracture gap. After this initial period of stabilization, chondrocytes undergo a maturation process, the matrix becomes calcified, osteoclasts remove the calcified cartilage, and endothelial cells invade the cartilage. The soft callus becomes a hard callus as bone forms behind the invading vasculature. Once formed, the bone is remodeled until the skeletal injury has been completely repaired and the bone marrow cavity has been restored.

Elastic cartilage grafting in canine radial fracture

Bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. Repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. Theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (CBT) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. We tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

The Role of Lingual Bone Grafting in the Treatment of Displaced Edentulous Mandibular Fracture with Severe Atrophy

Introduction: Treatment of edentulous atrophic mandible with severe atrophy is a challenge based on local conditions and systemic diseases confronted by the age group affected. If bone grafting is indicated, it is often used in lateral or inferior aspects of the mandible.  Case Report: A 70-year-old male with a unilateral fracture of the atrophied left mandibular body was managed by lingual bon...

Radiographic comparison of the repaired bone in maxillary alveolar cleft of dog by tissue engineering and autogenous bone grafting techniques

BACKGROUND: Dental disease, trauma and maxillofacial surgeries can cause alveolar bone defects. Among different kinds of treatment, autogenous bone grafts is accepted as a golden standard. On the other hand, because of limitation of treatment with autogenous bone grafts, osteogenic cells derived from stem cells are suggested. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the mean density of ...
