conclusion for the identification of nasal bone fractures, ct was significantly superior to conventional radiography. although a staff radiologist showed better values in the identification of nasal bone fracture and differentiation between depressed and non-depressed fractures than a trainee, there was no statistically significant difference in the interpretation of conventional radiography an...

statement of problem: it is not known whether endochondral and intramembranous bones have distinct biological characteristics. octacalcium phosphate (ocp), a hydroxyapatite precursor, has been reported to stimulate bone formation after being implanted in parietal bone defects of rats. purpose: the present study was designed to investigate the response of endochondral and intramembranous bones t...

Bone Regeneration In article 2201548 by Zhijian Xie, Jue Shi, and co-workers, a scaffold is designed based on the biomimetic mineralization theory, containing ultra-small particle size calcium phosphate nanoclusters (UsCCPs) with their 1–2 nm size. It can enhance bone strength characteristics promoting intrafibrillar promote M2 type polarization of macrophages, thus forming an immune microenvir...

2500 years ago, Hippocrates realized that bone can heal without scaring. The natural healing potential of bone is, however, restricted to small defects. Extended bone defects caused by trauma or during tumor resections still pose a huge problem in orthopedics and cranio-maxillofacial surgery. Bone tissue engineering strategies using stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds could overcome the p...
