The purpose of this study was to compare the structural properties of a new vs. established design of composite replicate femurs and tibias. The new design has a cortical bone analog consisting of short-glass-fiber-reinforced (SGFR) epoxy, rather than the fiberglass-fabric-reinforced (FFR) epoxy in the currently available design. The hypothesis was that this new cortical bone analog would impro...

sex determination is the first step in identification of dead body and hip bone or its components are reliable in sex discrimination. the present study was done to determine the applicability of some osteometric parameters of human hip bone in sex identification. sixteen different variables for the anterior border of 50 human hip bones from a skeletal collection were studied. statistically sign...

aneurysmal bone cyst (abc) is a benign expansile bone tumor, most commonly involving the medulla of long bones. abc rarely arises within the cortex or in the subperiosteal region, radiographically mimicking other conditions, in particular surface osteosarcomathat is low-grade in nature and may go secondary abc changes, and telangiectatic osteosarcoma. both of these are sometimes mistaken micros...

Volume 3 • Issue 2 • 1000132 Adv Tech Biol Med ISSN: 2379-1764 ATBM, an open access journal The bone is a very important organ that supports is one of the many bodily functions. It has very diverse functions from the general support of the human body to energy regulation and balance [1]. Bones are formed during the development either through intramembranous (flat bones) ossification or endochon...

The variations of the hyoid bone has a great significance for surgical procedures of neck region, and in forensic medicine for evidence of strangulation or hanging, which causes fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and morphometrical variations of the hyoid bone in Anatolian population. A total of 60 adult larynx specimens (46 male, 14 female) were dissected to ...

Canine osteosarcoma (OS) or osteogenic sarcoma is an aggressive tumor of the skeletal system, associated with a rapid progression and guarded prognosis. The osteosarcomas, mostly arise from the appendicular skeleton while axial OS (osteosarcoma of flat bones) are less reported in the majority of large breeds. This report describes complete para-clinical investigations of an aggressive chondrobl...

fibrous dysplasia (fd) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. it is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...

Bone is an anistropic material, the drilling of which is an essential part of internal ®xation in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Some research has been carried out into the drilling of bone, but there are no de®nitive recommendations available on the most suitable drill shape or on the optimum drilling speed that should be used in surgical practice. The heat generated during the drilling of bo...

the objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. after dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the sigma statt software. t...
