Some physiological aspects of bone marrow pressure.

C H Wilkes, M B Visscher

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bone marrow pressure and medullary venous pressure are nearly equal in dogs. These hemodynamic parameters, measured using a novel tonometric technique, respond similarly to changes in blood flow and drug administration.

    Science (New York, N.Y.)·2010

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Understanding bone hemodynamics is crucial for various medical applications.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the relationship between bone marrow and medullary venous pressures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hemodynamic properties of bone, specifically bone marrow and medullary venous pressures.
    • To compare these pressures under different perfusion conditions and in response to stimuli.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel tonometric technique utilizing a miniature pressure transducer was employed to measure bone marrow pressure.
    • Measurements were conducted under autoperfusion and constant-flow perfusion in anesthetized dogs.
    • Changes in pressure were induced by altering blood flow or administering drugs.

    Main Results:

    • Normal bone marrow pressure and medullary venous pressure in dogs were found to be nearly equal, averaging approximately 20 mmHg (17% of systemic blood pressure).
    • Both pressures exhibited similar responses in magnitude and direction to induced changes via perfusion rate alterations or drug administration.

    Conclusions:

    • Bone marrow and medullary venous pressures are closely related hemodynamic parameters in healthy bone.
    • The novel tonometric method allows for accurate measurement of bone marrow pressure without causing hemorrhage.
