The phenotypic appearance of the head of animal species depends strongly on the shape of the skull. The present study has been carried out on morphological and radiographic characteristics of skull of the Indian Blackbuck. The skull comprised of cranial and facial bones. The cranial bones included occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, interparietal, parietal, frontal and temporal. The occipital was a s...

The cell-free endocranial surface of young adult rat parietal bones was used as a substrate for osteoclastic bone resorption, either without prior treatment, or after incubation of the parietal bones with collagenase or neonatal rat calvarial cells. Untreated, the endocranial surface consisted of unmineralized organic fibres; incubation with calvarial cells or collagenase caused disruption and ...

Calvarial bones arise from two embryonic tissues, namely, the neural crest and the mesoderm. In this study we have addressed the important question of whether disparate embryonic tissue origins impart variable osteogenic potential and regenerative capacity to calvarial bones, as well as what the underlying molecular mechanism(s). Thus, by performing in vitro and in vivo studies, we have investi...

Objective: This study describes the bone transportation technique for partial bone defect, and shows clinical and radiological results of a series of patients treated by using this method. Material and Methods: Nine patients with partial bone defect were treated (six tibia and three femur). Every patient had infection and nonunion. The initial procedure was to stabilize the bone, followed by a ...

This work describes a simple technique for the safe removal of the midline parietal bone with the synostotic sagittal suture in infants with sagittal synostosis to avoid dural tearing and bleeding from the superior sagittal sinus. The technique consists of stepwise removal of the midline parietal bone in three pieces instead of one piece, starting with the anterior one-third midline bone being ...

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign lesion of unknown pathogenesis seen more often in vertebrae and flat bones, and less commonly in the shaft of long bones. Skull involvement is rare and accounts for only 3-6% cases, generally in the first three decades of life. Histologically, the lesion is characterised by the presence of multiple localisations, filled with venous blood and lined by spindle-sha...
