The general pattern of adaptation in the appendicular skeleton with aging is that the subperiosteal apposition of bone occur along with endosteal absorption. This remodeling of diaphysis to a cylinder of larger diameter is hypothesized to serve a mechanical compensatory unction by increasing the moment of inertia as the cortex thins with aging. These findings is only true of the diaphysis of long bone. Measuring the area and inertia at each section of femur, the age-related change of proximal emur and diaphysis is observed. After screening by physical and radiological examination, 200 normal Korean adults divided 5 groups in both male and female based on age. Twenty persons were in each group. One femur in each person was analyzed using CT images. femur scanned with 60 to 80 slices and this images were digitized. Then 2-D images were reconstructed into 3-D images. Using the nonlinear method, normalization and interpolation technique, 7 locations of interest (trochanteric area: 1, 2 subtrochanteric area: 3, 4, isthmic area: 5, 6, 7) were determined. On the each cross section at each location, the area (total, cortical and medullary) and 5 inertia of moment were measured. The results were analyzed statistically. With aging, significant area change occurred mainly in diaphysis and female. In trochanteric area, no significant change was noted. With aging, total and medullary area were increased, but cortical area was not changed. In diaphysis, lateral bendingresistanceincreasedsignificantly. No inertia change was noted in trochanteric area. Anteroposterior bending resistance was constant with aging. In more than age 60, total area and medullary area were larger than that of others. Lateral bending resistance was higher especially in diaphysis. In diaphysis, with aging, the decreased properties is compensated with the increased lateral bending resistance by geometric remodeling. In trochanteric area, no compensation occur. With aging, especially in more than age 60, the higher rate of trochanteric fracture is expected.

Giant cell tumor of bone is relatively common neoplasm usually involving epiphysis of long bone. And rarely it involves the diaphysis or metaphysis without epiphyseal extension. We report on an 18-year-old girl with giant cell tumor of ulnar diaphysis. She was treated with wide excision and reconstuction with nonvascularized autogenous fibular graft. We harvested fibular fragment preserving fibular continuity to reduce donor site morbidity. Surgical outcome and functional result was excellent.

투명세포연골육종은 매우 드문 골종양으로 장골의 골단이나 골간단에 발생한다. 많은 연구에서 대퇴골의 근위부를 가장 흔하게 발생하는 부위로 보고하였고, 상완골의 근위부가 그 다음으로많이 보고되었다. 조직학적으로 이 종류의 종양 세포들은 투명한 세포질과 뚜렷한 세포질막과 함께 중심성으로 위치하는 둥근 핵소체를 가지고 있다. 일반적으로 투명세포연골육종은 고식적인 연골육종과 혼동되지 않는다. 하지만, 방사선학적으로 장골의 간부에 발생한 경우 진단이 어려우며, 이전 문헌을 통하여 단 3례만이 보고된 바 있다. 저자들은 이전에 보고된 바 없는 42세 남자 환자의 경골 간부에서 발생된 투명세포연골육종을 보고하고자 한다.

The effects of cheonggukjang and doenjang on bone mineral density, trabecular area and cortical thickness of the tibia, and serum osteocalcin level in ovariectomized rats were investigated. After 4 weeks, bone mineral density, bone trabecular area, the cortical thickness index, and serum osteocalcin level were analyzed. The cheonggukjang and doenjang diet groups showed significant prevention of ovariectomized (OVX)-related body weight gain. Whole body bone mineral density of the OVX group was significantly lower than that of the sham group, whereas the cheonggulgang and doenjang diets resulted in complete restoration of bone mineral density. Trabecular area in the proximal diaphysis and cortical thickness in the distal diaphysis of the tibia were increased significantly in the cheonggukjang and doenjang diet fed groups. The cheonggukjang and doenjang diets significantly reduced serum osteocalcin level in the OVX rats. These results suggest that cheonggukjang and doenjang might have inhibitory effects on osteoporosis, by showing accelerated bone formation in OVX rats.

Although autoclaved autogenous bone reconstruction is one of the established procedures, it may have some problems in bone regeneration and mechanical property. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of more biologic and anatomical reconstruction where allograft is not readily available. From Aug.1991 to Feb. 1996 the authors analyzed 32 cases of reconstruction with autogenous low heat treated bone. Autogenous graft sites were humerus 4, tibia 4, pelvis 9, and 15 femur. Average follow-up period was 23(range;12-51) months. There were 49 graft-host junctional sites. Diaphysis was 22, metaphysis 10, and flat bone 17. Average duration of healing for the 38 united sites was 7 months. Average union time for each anatomical area 8 months in 19 diaphysis, 12 months in 7 metaphysis, and 12.7 months in 12 flat bone(pelvis). Eleven nonunion sites consisted of 3 diaphysis(3/22), 3 metaphysis(3/10), and 5 flat bone(5/17). Complications other than nonunion were local recurrence(4), bone resorption(3), graft fracture(2), osteomyelitis(1), metal failure(2), and wound infection(1). Initial bone quality and stable fixation technique was important for union rate. Plate and screw is a good method for diaphyseal lesion. Metaphyseal and flat bone are weak area for rigid fixation and one stage augmentation with iliac bone graft can be a salvage procedure.

Ewing`s sarcoma is a highly malignant tumor which occurs most frequently in the diaphysis of the long bones, although any bone may be involved. Ewing`s sarcomas occurring in the rib are rare. Recently, we experienced one case of Ewing`s sarcoma which arose in the right second rib in a young female patient. She was treated with three principal treatment modalities-en bloc excision of chest wall followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Clinical course is described with review of related literatures.

Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP) is defined as a disease of young dogs due to developmental abnormality in which there is a seperation of the anconeal process from the diaphysis of the ulna, leading to a front leg lameness and secondary osteoarthritis. A six -year-old German Shepherd dog was presented because of intermittent right front leg lameness. Diagnosis was made of ununited anconeal process with moderate osteoarthritis by radiographic examination. Surgical removal of ununited anconeal process and curettage of osteoarthritic growth within the elbow joint relieved significant clinical signs despite of size and age of the dog.

Ossifying fibroma is one of a group of fibro-osseous lesions which arises typically within the jaw bones and only rarely affects the long bones. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones almost involve exclusively the tibia but may also involve the fibula. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones is distinct from fibrous dysplasia, adamantinoma and nonossifying fibroma with regard to age of the patient, site, radiographic appearance, histological features, and clinical course. We are reporting the cases of seven patients with a tumor-like lesion that named osteofibrous dysplasia. It is most commonly found in the tibia and fibula of a child ten years of age or younger. Of the seven cases reported in this study, only one patient was younger than ten years. In all cases, the lesions were usually located in the tibial diaphysis. The average duration of clinical manifestation was 5.2 years. The clinical symptoms were anterior bowing of the tibia in 2 cases, buldging of the tibia in 2 cases, and mass overlying the tibia in 3 cases. On the roentgenography, it shows multiple radiolucent lesion with intervening sclerotic rim of the tibial diaphysis. In seven patients, 6 cases were confirmed with biopsy. We had done curettage and bone graft in three cases, VFG was done in one case. The other three cases underwent conservative management.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of aqua-acupuncture of Laennec N HO (Hominis placenta Cervi pontotrichum cornu Carthami semen). on trabecular area and physiological change in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats. This experiment was performed to .investigate an antiosteoporosis. effects of Laennec N HO(Hominis placenta Cervi pontotrichum cornu Carthmi semen) aqua-acupuncture on the osteoporosis induced by both ovariectomy in Rats. So rats were divided into Sham group and OVX group. OVX groups were divided into control group, Exp. I group, Exp II group and Exp III group). The Ratios of trabecular area seen in ephiphysis and diaphysis of tibia and lumbar vertebral body and physiological change were as follows. 1. In the proximal ephiphysis of tibia, Exp I II III groups were significantly increased compared to that in control group (p<0.05). 2. In the diaphysis of tibia, Exp III group were significantly increased compared to that in control group (p<0.05). 3. In the first lumbar vertebral body, Exp II group were significantly increased compared to that in control group. 4. In the cortical thickness index of tibia, Exp III III groups were significantly increased compared to that in control group. 5. Osteoca1cin was increased in the Exp II group than those of other Experiment groups and control group, and Phosphorus was decreased in the Exp I II group than that in control group, But a significant difference was not seen. GOT, GPT and Alkaline phosphatase were decreased in all Experiment groups than that in control group. But a significant difference was not seen. From the above results, it might be suggested that aqua-acupuncture Laennec N HO(Hominis placenta Cervi pontotrichum cornu Carthami semen) prevented the increase in bone turnover and the decrese in bone mass induced by OVX in rats.

In this study, we compared the efficiency of osteoblast differentiation media (ODM) containing three distinct reagent combinations in osteoblastic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in monolayer culture. In addition, we analyzed growth and differentiation of hBMSCs on silk scaffolds and examined the bone-forming activity of a nanofibrous silk scaffold in a tibia diaphysis defect model of a rat hind limb with intramedullary nailing. Although all three ODM increased alkaline phosphatase activity to a comparable extent, the ODM containing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was found to be significantly less effective in promoting mineral deposition than the others. Growth of hBMSCs on sponge-form silk scaffolds was faster than on nanofibrous ones, while osteoblastic differentiation was apparent in the cells grown on either type of scaffold. By contrast, bone formation was observed only at the edge of the nanofibrous scaffold implanted in the tibia diaphysis defect, suggesting that use of the silk scaffold alone is not sufficient for the reconstitution of the long bone defect. Since silk scaffolds can support cell growth and differentiation in vitro, loading MSCs on scaffolds might be necessary to improve the bone-forming activity of the scaffold in the long bone defect model.
