Boys are more commonly affected. In children, infection often localises to the metaphysis of long bones due to their rich and slow-flowing blood supply. The distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal ...

This is a catastrophic injury, with extensive damage to the joint surface, fragmentation of the widened flare (metaphysis) of the distal radius, and damage to the shaft of the radius and/or the ...

Sequential reaming and metaphyseal cone reconstruction of both medullary canals was performed. Bone loss of the tibial metaphysis warranted the use of a 21-mm cone. On the femoral side, a 15-mm cone ...

The authors investigated KLF Transcription Factor 16 (KLF16) as an inhibitor of osteogenic differentiation, which plays a critical role in bone development, metabolism and repair. The results of the ...
