A theoretical model was developed to assess ways to improve the injectability of calcium
phosphate pastes. The theoretical results were then compared to experimental data obtained …

… Additional details to the protocol may be found in the article by Baroud et al. In a previous
study, the permeability of 35 samples of cancellous bone was measured as 1.9 and 9.7 × 10 −…

The goal of the present study was to assess the effect of macropore size on the in vivo behavior
of ceramic scaffolds. For that purpose, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) cylinders with four …

The structural behaviour of the human heel pad has been studied extensively due to its
ability to absorb shock, protect against excessive local stress, and reduce plantar pressures. …

Objectives. – To examine the biomechanisms underlying adjacent fractures following
vertebroplasty, an emerging procedure to stabilize fractured vertebrae. In this procedure, bone …

Calcium phosphate materials have been used increasingly in the past 40 years as bone graft
substitutes in the dental and orthopedic fields. Accordingly, numerous fabrication methods …

Although bone formation around and within implants has been intensively studied, the role
of pores and pore geometry is still debated. Notwithstanding studies reporting the formation …

Calcium phosphate (CaP) cements are being increasingly used for minimally invasive hard
tissue implantation. Possible approaches to improve the bad injectability of hydraulic calcium …

Editor: Dr Uppin and colleagues are to be commended on their article published in the January
2003 issue of Radiology (1). Many authors, as pointed out by Dr Uppin and colleagues, …

In today's aging population, osteoporosis-related fractures are an ever-growing concern.
Vertebroplasty, a promising yet cost-effective treatment for vertebral compression fractures, has …
