Reconstruction of a major bone loss remains a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Most of the bone defects result from a bone tumour resection whereas a post-traumatic bone loss is more rare due to the numerous options available for bone fixation. However in high-energy trauma, the injury to bone may be so extensive as to justify removal of fragmented bone. A 57-year-old man presented with a...

Abstract Objective: the present study was performed to evaluate Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM) as a grafting material around immediate dental implant in mandibular posterior teeth Material and Methods: eight patients were selected for use MPM implant. After surgery each patient evaluated clinically at following interval immediate, one week, two weeks, three months postoperatively for:: Pres...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the commonest ligamentous injury to knee joint. Various surgical methods have been described for anterior reconstruction with different kinds of grafts which own merits and demerits. Bone patellar tendon bone commonly used autograft ACL reconstruction.Aim this study was analyse functional outcome following arthroscopic using Bone- -bone graft (BTB)

OBJECTIVE To investigate bone loss and the rate of bone turnover in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), and to compare the results with those healthy controls. METHODS This cross-sectional, controlled study was performed between January and December 2005, in the Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. Forty-eight patients with SCI were include...

Bone marrow-derived fibroblasts in circulation are of hematopoietic origin, and they proliferate, differentiate into myofibroblasts, and express the chemokine receptor CXCR6. As chemokines mediate the trafficking of circulating cells to sites of injury, we studied the role of CXCR6 in mouse models of renal injury. Significantly, the kidney of CXCR6 knockout mice accumulated fewer bone marrow-de...

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a widely used therapy method for bone and soft tissue injury patients. However, the exact mechanism is not very clear until now. In this review, we summarized the possible mechanisms of LIPUS therapy on bone-tendon junction (BTJ), stem cells, muscle injury, wounds, bone healing, osteoporotic fracture, and osteoarthritis. Once the underlying mechanism o...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a 6-month treatment with intravenous pamidronate (30-mg infusion once per month) to conventional rehabilitation without pamidronate on bone density of the spine and leg bones and on the excretion rate of N-telopeptide, a urinary marker of bone catabolism, in acutely spinal cord injured patients. DESIGN A nonrandomized control trial in which 24 spinal cord i...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are detectable in the blood and bone marrow throughout life. These cells contribute to new blood vessel formation (neovascularization) in physiological states such as wound healing and in pathological states such as tumor angiogenesis. We hypothesized that bone marrow-derived EPCs could play a role in the response to pancreatic islet cell injury. We used a mu...
