Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex‚ pose a significant health risk to the patient‚ or fail to heal properly.Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous harvested from the patient’s own body‚ often from the allograft or synthetic with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts

Chemical Composition of Bone Bone is a very hard material which is capable of bearing a large amount of weight and resisting tension and twisting forces. Therefore‚ this material is both flexible and hard. The hardness of bone is due to calcium deposits in the matrix while the flexibility comes from the organic material of the matrix. We can illustrate these facts by treating two bone samples by two different methods: 1. Soaking a bone in vinegar (dilute acetic acid) removes calcium

up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues‚ that is‚ they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells‚ the gelatin the support material for matrix‚ and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances‚ we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight

Bone Cancer Bone cancer is when there is an abnormal growth in the amount of tissue in a bone. These strange growths can be either benign or malignant‚ but usually malignant. There are two types of bone cancer; primary and secondary. In primary bone cancer‚ the cancer had actually started in the cells of the bone‚ whilst in secondary‚ the cancer has started in a different area and traveled through the body to the bone.

Bone cancer can be primary bone canceror secondary bone cancer. Primary bone cancer started in the bone; the cancer initially formed in the cells of the bone‚ while secondary cancer started elsewhere in the body and spread to the bone. Examples of primary bone cancer include steosarcoma‚ Ewing sarcoma‚ malignant fibrous histiocytoma‚ and chondrosarcoma. According to the National Cancer Institute‚ USA‚ it is estimated that by the end of 2010 there will have been 2‚650 new cases and 1‚450 deaths

Title: Bone Mechanics Objectives:- -To become familiar with LabView software and National Instruments‚ in order to record and observe the strain signals from chicken bone and an aluminum rod. Background: Data acquisition is the use of computer software connected to a measuring device. Signals and measurements are recorded‚ which is converted into a digital signal only understood by a computer. Data is recorded at a certain speed that is processed in real time‚ and can be immediately interpreted

Bones in our body are living tissue. They have their own blood vessels and are made of living cells‚ which help them to grow and to repair themselves. Every single person has a skeleton made up of many bones. These bones give your body structure‚ let you move in many ways‚ protect your internal organs‚ and more. As well‚ proteins‚ minerals and vitamins make up the bone. Bones have several parts‚ but are manily made out of calcium deposits. It takes around 20 years for our bones to completely
