Using ratios relative to the fixed measure of the femoral
diaphysis enables a comparative measure of the restored joint line and PCO to be made.
MP group had significantly reduced width and mass of femur
diaphysis compared to control rats.
The parameters assessed for the
diaphysis were the total tissue area (Tt.Ar), marrow area (Ma.Ar), periosteal and endocortical BS (perimeter), sLS, dLS, interlabel width, and endocortical ES, in accordance with the method described by Chen et al.
Boland, "Telescope allograft method to reconstitute the
diaphysis in limb salvage surgery," Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, vol.
The tibia
diaphysis, the cortical site, demonstrated a notably different pattern of decline; no significant differences emerged among bins 1-4 (p > 0.17).
Whole-body bone scintigraphy demonstrated an increase in focal activity in the left femur
diaphysis. Results of laboratory analyses were normal: Urea: 44 mg/dl, Creatinine: 0.9 mg/dl, Na: 130 mmol/l, K: 4,6 mmol/l, CI: 96 mmol/l, Ca: 8,9 mg/dl, I Ca: 4.53 mg/dl, Phosphor: 3.8 mg/dl, Mg: 1,7 mg/dl, PTH: 4 pmol/l (normal values: 1.3-9.3) Vit D: 8,4 ng/ml (normal values: 6.3-46.4).
The femoral
diaphysis near ends was treated with DHS/DCS and dynamization in one case.
Effect of different dietary phytase levels on proximal epiphysis,
diaphysis and distal epiphysis of broiler chicks from 1 to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age.
Alendronate-related femoral
diaphysis fracture- what should be done to predict and prevent subsequent fracture of the contralateral side?
Stage 2 (MP3): Epiphysis of middle phalanx of middle finger (MP3) is same width as
diaphysis.
-- Many bone disease experts are recommending a 1- to 2-year bisphosphonate holiday after 5 years of treatment in response to a recent spate of reports of atypical fractures of the femoral
diaphysis.
