Background: No scientific evidence exists regarding the amount of bone cement used and discarded in primarycemented Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to identify the exact amount of bone cement utilizedfor component fixation in primary TKA.Methods: In a prospective study carried out at five centers, 133 primary cemented TKAs were performed. One packof 40g Palacos bone cem...

introduction : use of adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) is a suggested hypothesis to enhance the regeneration of bone defects. this technique is of particular interest since adscs are more easily accessible via a non-invasive harvesting technique compared to bone marrow stem cells (bmscs). this study sought to assess the efficacy of adsc implantation for regeneration of localized mandibular bo...

objectives : bone assessment is essential for diagnosis, treatment planning and prediction of prognosis of periodontal diseases. however, two-dimensional radiographic techniques have multiple limitations, mainly addressed by the introduction of three-dimensional imaging techniques such as cone beam computed tomography (cbct). this study aimed to assess the accuracy of cbct for detection of marg...

Bone drilling process is the most prominent process in orthopedically surgeries and curing bone breakages. It is also very common in dentistry and bone sampling operations. Due to complexity of the material that is machined, bone, and the sensitivity of the process, bone drilling is one of the most important, common and sensitive processes in biomedical engineering field. The most critical prob...

Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...

Introduction: Diagnosis of lesions and bone defects is very important and there is a lack of substantial studies on the most appropriate method for bone defect measurement. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of mandibular bone defects present in sheep. Material & Methods: T...

background and aim . vertical and horizontal bone resorption of the alveolar ridge are common in edentulous jaws. in the distal area of the maxilla, an adequate bone volume is often lacking because of the proximity of the sinus cavities to crestal bone. sinus floor augmentation is an established way of increasing the height and volume of bone in the posterior region of the maxilla, which increa...

  Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare aseptic, auto-inflammatory bone disorder. CRMO presents with bone pain with or without fever. The diagnosis of CRMO is a diagnosis of exclusion and should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bone lesions in children. Cultures of the bone are typically sterile, antibiotic therapy does not result in clinic...

introduction: osteoporosis is a bone disease in which there is a reduction in the amount of bone mineral content leading to an increase in the risk of bone fractures. the affected individuals not only have to go through lots of pain and suffering but this disease also results in high economic costs to the society due to a large number of fractures.  a timely and accurate diagnosis of this disea...
