Expected bony contact

Bone-implant contact and bone quality: evaluation of expected and actual bone contact on machined and osseotite implant surfaces.

This article introduces a new technique using histomorphometrics to estimate the extent of bone-to-implant contact that might be expected on an implant surface in relation to the quality of the surrounding bone. Two implant surfaces, one machined and one Osseotite, were compared on the same implant in the same patient Eleven of these custom-made 2-mm-diameter implants were placed in the posteri...

Arthroscopic Bony Bankart Repair

Arthroscopic stabilization has proven an effective technique in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability due to soft tissue labrum/ligamentous (i.e. Bankart) injury. However, this procedure has not proven as reliable in patients with glenoid rim fractures that have either been neglected or unrecognized, and gone on to resorb. Consequently, there has been a growing emphasis on the importan...

Biology of Bony Fish Macrophages

Macrophages are found across all vertebrate species, reside in virtually all animal tissues, and play critical roles in host protection and homeostasis. Various mechanisms determine and regulate the highly plastic functional phenotypes of macrophages, including antimicrobial host defenses (pro-inflammatory, M1-type), and resolution and repair functions (anti-inflammatory/regulatory, M2-type). T...
