Ultrasonic Evaluation of Intact, Healing and Osteoporotic Long Bones
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has been introduced in recent years for the comprehensive noninvasive and non-ionizing evaluation of bones. This paper presents a review of our research work of the last decade including experimental and computational studies for the ultrasonic assessment of fracture healing and osteoporosis. The axial transmission and the backscattering methods have been applied t...
متن کاملBiomechanical concepts of fracture healing in weight-bearing long bones.
Fracture healing is a complex process in which mechanical forces are essential for the regeneration of bone tissue. Mechanical loading can induce osteogenesis through the process of mechanotransduction. Current data on how mechanical loading stimulates fracture healing in weight-bearing long bones are presented. The role of mechanosensors, loading-induced interstitial fluid flow, streaming pote...
متن کاملThe biology of fracture healing in long bones.
The healing of a fracture is one of the most remarkable of all the repair processes in the body since it results, not in a scar, but in the actual reconstitution of the injured tissue in something very like its original form. It is not to be expected therefore that the mechanisms controlling such a process will be easily elucidated and indeed they involve problems of cellular homeostasis which ...
متن کاملComputational Methods of Ultrasound Wave Propagation in Healing Long Bones
Computational Methods of Ultrasound Wave Propagation in Healing Long Bones D. I. Fotiadis1 Summary Quantitative ultrasound has attracted significant interest in the evaluation of bone fracture healing. Animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that the propagation velocity across fractured bones can be used as an indicator of healing. Researchers have recently employed computational methods...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone 1-84 accelerates fracture-healing in pubic bones of elderly osteoporotic women.
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been shown to increase bone mineral density and to reduce the rate of fractures in patients with osteoporosis and also to improve fracture-healing. The purpose of the present prospective, randomized, controlled study was to evaluate the effect of PTH 1-84 on the course of pelvic fracture-healing and functional outcome in postmenopausal women. METHODS S...
