Abstract:
Modeling in vivo (on Wistar rats) was carried out by the method of complete integration of the prosthesis of an amputated extremity with a residuum; in this procedure the prosthesis is fixed to the residuum with a metal pylon one end of which is implanted into the bone of the residuum, while the other end traverses the residuum tissues and skin 5-7 cm above the residuum surface. This procedure includes not only successful implantation in the residuum bone, but also the possibility that the pores in the metal pylon can be filled with skin cells in the area of the pylon which traverses the tissues of the residiuum. The porous titanium pylon was implanted into the bone of experimental animals with amputated extremities. Penetration of bone and skin cells into the pores of the studied material was demonstrated, which provides tighter fixation in the bone and shows promise for the development of a natural cutaneous barrier to infection.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
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...
