Abstract:
We reviewed the results examinations, made on 16 patients treated for osteosarcoma at Orthopaedic end Traumatology Clinic of University Clinical Center in Tuzla, over a ten-year period. Clinical aspects were studied using medical records (patient, scharts, historyes, radiographs). Quantification of tissue and cellular quality structural changes in the focus of bone destruction were done using a morphometrical or stereological method. The volume density (Vv) of the stroma mass and of the necrotical bone rafters, as well as the numeric density (Nv) of cells were determined on the pathohistologic transsections. The results suggest that in the bone destruction focus predominate mononuclears and giant cells of osteoclast type, and practically there is no osteogenesis reparatory cells.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
