Introduction: Bone graft is harvested from bone and used to stimulate bone healing due to its properties. The aims of the study were to compare the quantity of graft harvested from proximal tibia and iliac crest, and the complications at these donor sites. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out on all consecutive patients who had orthopaedic procedures that required bon...

Objective(s): Alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress on bone, which in turn increases the risk of osteoporosis. This study determined the effects of vitamin E on bone strength and bone mineral content in alcohol-induced osteoporotic rats. Materials and Methods: Three months old Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (I) control group; (II) alcohol (3 g/kg) + normal ...

INTRODUCTION This study examined the bone density around the fixation area during knee ligament reconstructions and assessed how this clinical relevance can be applied to a firm construction for a reconstructed ligament. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive patients (25 healthy men and 25 healthy women) were enrolled in this study. A quantitative computed tomography was used to determine t...

Objective(s): Adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be engineered to express bone specific markers. The aim of this study is to evaluate repairing tibia in animal model with differentiated osteoblasts from autologous ADSCs in alginate scaffold. Materials and Methods: In this study, 6 canine’s ADSCs were encapsulated in alginate and differentiated into osteoblasts. Alkaline phosphatase assay (A...

different ossificant materials have been used for induction of bone repair in many studies, and bone matrix gelatin which contains bone morphogenic proteins is one of the best ones. in present study we evaluated the role of this material in acceleration of bone repair in rabbit tibia. a hole of 3.5 mm diameter was made on right tibia of 10 and 12 rabbits as study and control group respectively....

an experiment with 300 one-day old ross male broiler chicks was conducted to determine the effects of glauconite and zeolite on the broiler's performance, tibia bone and blood characteristics. five experimental treatments [control, glauconite (2 & 4 percent), and zeolite (2 & 4 percent)] were used in a completely randomized design with 4 replicates. during the experiment weight gain, feed ...

We report the genetic relationship between growth and bone quality traits in a random mating broiler control population. Traits studied were growth rates from week 0 to 4 [body weight gain (BWG) 0 to 4], from week 0 to 6 (BWG 0 to 6), and residual feed intake (RFI) from week 5 to 6 (RFI 5 to 6). Bone quality traits were obtained at 6 weeks of age. These traits were shank weight (SW), shank leng...
