conclusions saddle nose reconstruction with bone graft in multiple facial fracture patients is a predictable method if surgical accesses to the region are carefully designed, considering the accompanying fractures. results there were 11 patients treated using this method. the male-to-female ratio was 7:5. one miniscrew with the lag technique was the preferred method for the fixation of the dors...

abstract non-:union: occurs when bone healing ceases and does not continue without some type of intervention. classification of non-:union: is traditionally based on the amount of callus or bone healing at the fracture site. successful treatment of non-:union: often depends on appropriate reduction and realignment of the fracture, bone grafting if necessary, and stabilization. this may not be p...

Objective- To determine the effect of selected bone graft on the compression properties of radialbone in rabbit.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- A total of 45 adult male New Zealand white rabbits.Procedures- The rabbits were anesthetized and a one-cm-full thickness piece of radial bone wasremoved using oscillating saw in the all rabbit. The rabbits were divided into 5 groups on theba...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...

introduction: various bone palliative therapeutic agents have been developed and widely used for bone metastasis such as 153sm-edtmp. in this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of a newly developed therapeutic compound have been presented followed by imaging studies in wild-type rodents. methods: 153sm-tthmp was prepared starting from 153sm-smcl3, prepared by neutro...

background: thiazolidinediones (tzds) improves insulin sensitivity by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (ppar-g). we aimed to study any association between variation in bone biochemical markers and single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in ppar- γ (pro12ala) and investigate if these genetic variants affect bone turnover markers in iranian diabetic population before and a...
