One of the limiting factors in finding the best osteosynthesis approach in proximal humerus fractures is the current lack of information on the properties of the cancellous bone regions engaged by the implants fixing the epiphysis. The aim of this study is to assess the densitometric and mechanical characteristics of these regions when using a proximal humerus locking plate (PHLP).Nineteen PHLPs were...
In osteoporotic bones, resorption exceeds formation during the remodelling phase of bone turnover. As a consequence, decreased bone volume and bone contact result in the peri-implant region. This may subsequently lead to loss of fixation. In this study we investigated whether the presence of nonresorbable, osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA) particles could help maintain a denser and more functional...
Osteocytes are the most numerous cells in mature bone and have the potential to live as long as the organism itself. However, study and subsequent understanding of osteocyte biology has been thwarted by the remote location of the cell in the mineralized matrix. This review is intended to synthesize current understanding of osteocyte biology and to suggest future paths that will promote understanding...
