“Periosteum: An imaging review”

An imaging review of extramedullary myeloma

Learning objectives Numerous studies have demonstrated increasing overall survival in patients with multiple myeloma over the last 40 years. Novel agents including thalidomide and bortezomib used in induction therapy, together with autologous stem cell transplant in consolidation, have improved patient outcomes. Whilst extramedullary myeloma can be a presenting form of the disease, it is becomi...

Periosteum Fracture Bone Strength THE MECHANICAL ROLE OF THE PERIOSTEUM ON THE IMPACT RESISTANCE OF BONE

Introduction: The role of periosteum in the blood supply of bones has been investigated by several investigators [5]. Its osteogenic potential, particularly its important role in fracture repair, is also well recognized [1, 3]. However, the biomechanical role of periosteum in the fracture behavior of bones has not been studied in detail. Although the periosteum is expected to be resistant to te...

Regeneration of Periosteum in Denuded Bone

Fig. 1. Schematic of one-stage bone-transport procedure (yellow – bone, red – periosteum). A portion of diaphyseal bone is denuded of periosteum, osteotomized, and transported over an intramedullary nail to the site of the 2.54-cm critical-sized defect, where it is docked to the distal femur. The periosteal sheath is left in situ to surround the new defect site, leading to full infilling of the...

Effective bone engineering with periosteum-derived cells.

Bone augmentation via tissue engineering has generated significant interest. We hypothesized that periosteum-derived cells could be used in place of bone marrow stromal cells (which are widely used) in bone engineering, but the differences in osteogenic potential between these 2 cell types are unclear. Here, we compared the osteogenic potential of these cells, and investigated the optimal osteo...
