Objective- Although the promotional effects on bone healing of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF)have been well demonstrated, the effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) remained unclear. In this study,effects of SMFs on clinical and biomechanical aspects of bone healing using a canine unstable osteotomygap model were investigated .Design- Prospective descriptive trial.Animals- Fifteen mongre...

RATIONALE Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare malignant entity. There is a better survival of PBL than any other malignant bone tumors and extranodal lymphomas. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a rare case of PBL involving radius and tibia. The patient was a 14-year-old girl with left forearm pain and swelling after trauma. Six months later after the last chemotherapy and radiotherapy, pain and s...

BACKGROUND/AIMS In a randomized controlled clinical trial in kidney transplant recipients (NCT01377467) we have recently shown that RANKL inhibition with denosumab significantly improved areal bone mineral density (aBMD) when given during the first year after transplantation. The effect of denosumab on skeletal microstructure and bone strength in kidney transplant recipients is not known. MET...

The purpose of this study was to use meta-analysis to examine the effects of resistance training on bone mineral density at the femur, lumbar spine, and radius in pre- and postmenopausal women. Resistance training had a positive effect on bone mineral density at the lumbar spine of all women and at the femur and radius sites for postmenopausal women. It was concluded that resistance training ha...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the relation between differently measured sports activities (metabolic equivalent [MET] and peak strain score) and distal radius bone mineral density in college-aged women. METHODS Lifetime sports activity was scored in two different ways: 1) a sports activity score by multiplying the intensity (METs) and duration and 2) a sports activity score by ...

abstract  background: resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment  of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. the aim of this study  was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor.  methods: we analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of th...

Abstract Objects:Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) isa locally aggressive lesion with unpredictable behavior. Here, we aim to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, clinical and functional outcome of GCTB in a relatively large series of patients. Methods:Patients with the diagnosis of GCTB were included in this retrospective study.Surgical options included extended curettage wh...

INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis of the axial skeleton is a known complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but bone loss affecting the peripheral skeleton is less studied. This study on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microarchitecture in AS was conducted to compare peripheral vBMD in AS patients with that in healthy controls, to study vBMD in axial compared with peripheral bone, a...
