Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...

Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

The acid-base reaction class has been studied for quite some time. In 1680, Robert Boyle reported traits of acid solutions that included their ability to dissolve many substances, to change the colors of certain natural dyes, and to lose these traits after coming in contact with alkali (base) solutions. In the eighteenth century, it was recognized that acids have a sour taste, react with limestone to liberate a gaseous substance (now known to be CO2), and interact with alkalis to form neutral...

Introduction to the Skeletal System

Introduction to the Skeletal System

The skeletal system is the central framework of the body, consisting of different connective tissues: bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
Cartilage, a semi-rigid connective tissue found in regions such as...

Area of Science:

Orthopaedic Surgery
Pediatric Medicine
Bibliometrics

Background:

Identifying seminal works in pediatric orthopaedics is crucial for understanding the field's evolution.
Previous research has not systematically cataloged highly cited clinical pediatric orthopaedic articles.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify clinical pediatric orthopaedic articles with at least 100 citations.
To analyze the characteristics of these highly cited publications.

Main Methods:

Searched orthopaedic journals listed in the Journal Citation Report 2001.
Utilized Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) to find articles with >= 100 citations.
Two authors independently reviewed and selected articles based on inclusion criteria.

Main Results:

135 clinical pediatric orthopaedic articles with >= 100 citations were identified.
The majority of articles originated from the United States (90).
Scoliosis/kyphosis (26 papers) and hip disorders (24 papers) were the most common topics.

Conclusions:

The identified citation classics represent significant contributions to pediatric orthopaedics.
This list aids in understanding the historical development and trends within the specialty.
Recognizing these influential articles facilitates discourse and education in pediatric orthopaedics.
