Aim: Comparing the height of the individuals in correlation with the forearm length. Objective: To determine the height of the individuals from the forearm length. Background: The estimation of the height of individuals from the skeletal bears immense importance in the sciences in addition to the long bones, humerus, femur etc., the forearm length also been used for this purpose. This serves an...

enchymal dysplasia of bone that is diagnosed by a characteristic linear cortical hyperostosis with a flowing candle wax appearance (1-3). It commonly affects long bones, usually in the lower limb and on one side of the body. The involvement of flat bones is rare (1, 2). In addition, bilateral involvement is extremely rare, with only one case of long tubular bones with a symmetric distribution r...

ceptibility. However, the use of percentages of unscaled variables with differing geometric dimensions may lead to erroneous conclusions about the timing of bone growth in length, diameter and mass. Using small and large cuboids (with similar relationship [isometry] between length and width) as examples for a growing human long bone, it is evident that increments in one-dimensional length or wi...

Parosteal osteosarcomas are uncommon neoplasms that typically affect the long bones. Primary involvement of a rib is very rare. The imaging features of a parosteal osteosarcoma involving a rib are described, including the magnetic resonance imaging features, which have not been previously been reported in the literature.

The mammalian skeleton performs a diverse range of vital functions, requiring mechanisms of regeneration that restore functional skeletal cell populations after injury. We hypothesized that the Wnt pathway specifies distinct functional subsets of skeletal cell types, and that lineage tracing of Wnt-responding cells (WRCs) using the Axin2 gene in mice identifies a population of long-lived skelet...

We reviewed 275 cases and calculated the prevalence of bacteriologically or radiologically confirmed acute haematogenous osteomyelitis in children under 13 resident in Greater Glasgow during 1970 to 1990. In the 20-year period there was a fall of over 50%, mainly involving cases of long-bone infection, and those due to Staphylococcus aureus. There was a reduced incidence of complications. The p...

A tubular braided composite bone cast for improving the efficiency and quality of bone fracture treatment is investigated. Finite element analysis was used to evaluate stress concentrations in fracture sites supported with plate and tubular casts. The stress in a plated bone is 768 % of that in a whole bone at the same location, while it is only 47 % in a bone with a tubular cast. Three unbroke...

In order to determine the characters of a race, it is necessary that comparison should be made of at least twenty skulls. It is further desirable to have as many of the bones of the skeleton as possible, as comparison of pelvic and long bones give important results in determining race peculiarities. The Hunterian Museum, now under the direction of Professor Flower, F. E. S., is especially inter...

Osteitis has been transformed in recent times from a lethal or crippling disease to one in which restitution of bone to normal can be expected (Trueta and Morgan 1954). Yet if diagnosis and treatment are delayed the disease, despite antibiotics, may show all its former complications and may run the same unfavourable course as was described by earlier surgeons (Pyrah and Pain 1933). In Africa an...

ABSTRACT Non-union occurs when bone healing ceases and does not continue without some type of intervention. Classification of non-union is traditionally based on the amount of callus or bone healing at the fracture site. Successful treatment of non-union often depends on appropriate reduction and realignment of the fracture, bone grafting if necessary, and stabilization. This may not be possibl...
