Introduction: The low regeneration of bone in defective bones causes therapeutic problems. Various strategies to assess the healing of bone defects have been used which they include histological and histo-chemical analysis in an invasive study. The purpose of this study was to determine the ultrasonic parameters of bone as a promising noninvasive technology for assessing bone repair process. Ma...

background: several systemic factors and hormones are thought to regulate the fracture healing process. vitamin d has emerged as a compound or hormone that actively participates in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. objectives: the aim of this study is to determine the serum changes in the level of vitamin d during the acute healing period of tibial and femoral shaft fra...

introduction: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prednisolone on the sensitivity of bone scanning to detect the simulated closed fracture in the rat tibia.  methods: a total number of forty eight adult, male nmri rats randomly assigned into two parts, one part for 4 and other for 8 weeks experiments. each part has been divided into four groups, one group not receivi...

abstract   background: the tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. in accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures. the purpose of the study was to assess the co...

demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. in this paper we de...
