Abstract:
Eighty five clinical observations of the authors have shown autotransplants demineralized in the solution of hydrochloric acid to possess pronounced osteoinductive properties. Their ability to induce osteogenesis was mostly pronounced in simultaneous plasty with a demineralized and frozen bone. Reconstructive processes are perfectly completed within 18-24 months after operation.

01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
01:18The Bone Matrix
Bone contains a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of collagen fibers that provide an adherent surface for inorganic salt crystals. Both components of the matrix, organic and inorganic, contribute to the unusual properties of bone. Without collagen, bones would be brittle and shatter easily. Without mineral crystals, bones would flex and provide little support. This can be observed by an experiment: when the minerals of a bone are dissolved by soaking the bone in acid or...
