Comparison of bone loss induced by ovariectomy and neurectomy in rats analyzed by in vivo micro-CT.

30 Oct 2009 We hypothesized that osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency progresses faster than due to disuse and that at the same amount of bone loss, disuse leads to less favorable bone structure and mechanical properties than estrogen deficiency. Adult rats ... Read more...

Age estimation from stages of union of the vertebral epiphyses of the ribs.

29 Sep 2009 This study attempts to fill a persistent gap in the literature by documenting the timing of epiphyseal union at the vertebral end of the ribs in a sample of modern Portuguese skeletons. The skeletal remains of 53 females and 45 males, between the ... Read more...

Mechanical axis following staple epiphysiodesis for limb-length inequality.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Staple epiphysiodesis is an option for the treatment of limb-length discrepancies, but it is not without complications. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of staple epiphysiodesis, including changes in the mechanical ... Read more...
