Neuropathic foot impairments treated with immobilization and off-loading result in osteolysis. In order to prescribe and optimize rehabilitation programs after immobilization we need to understand the magnitude of pedal osteolysis after immobilization and the time course for recovery.To determine differences in a) foot skin temperature; b) calcaneal bone mineral density (BMD) after immobilization;...
Burn and disuse results in metabolic and bone changes associated with substantial and sustained bone loss. Such loss can lead to an increased fracture incidence and osteopenia. We studied the independent effects of burn and disuse on bone morphology, composition and strength, and microstructure of the bone alterations 14days after injury. Sprague–Dawley rats were randomized into four groups: Sham/Ambulatory...
Testosterone enanthate (TE) administration attenuates bone loss in orchiectomized (ORX) rats. However, testosterone administration may increase risk for prostate/lower urinary tract related adverse events and polycythemia in humans. Trenbolone enanthate (TREN) is a synthetic testosterone analogue that preserves bone mineral density (BMD) and results in less prostate enlargement than testosterone in...
Disuse uncouples bone formation from resorption, leading to increased porosity, decreased bone geometrical properties, and decreased bone mineral content which compromises bone mechanical properties and increases fracture risk. However, black bear bone properties are not adversely affected by aging despite annual periods of disuse (i.e., hibernation), which suggests that bears either prevent bone...
We examined the effects of estrogen and calcium supplementation upon bone loss among a cohort of Japanese-American women. The women averaged 64 years of age (age range 45-81) and 14 years postmenopause at their initial examination in 1981. They returned at 1-3-year intervals for subsequent examinations, most recently in 1992-1994. At each examination, bone mass was measured at the calcaneus and...
