You may think of bone as a hard, dense material, but only one type of bone is like this. This dense, hard bone is called cortical bone. Cortical bones are primarily the “structure” bones.

A new study in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research looked at the relative contributions of the two types of bone-cortical, or compact bone, and trabecular, or spongy bone-to total bone loss.

Enthesophytes were defined as new bone formation from the periosteal bone cortex at tendon, ligament, and capsule insertion sites or at functional enthesis locations. TAKEAWAY: ...

In their longitudinal study of 53 patients with CKD stage 2–5D, the researchers assessed bone structure and levels of bone remodelling markers at baseline and at a median follow-up of 1.5 years.

The Cortex would be 3D printed on site, according to Evill, and each cast would be most dense near the location of a wearer’s fracture. “After many centuries of splints and cumbersome plaster ...

In previous studies by the Missouri S&T researchers, porous scaffolds of the silicate glass, known as 13-93, were found to have the same strength properties as cortical bone.

Our finite element and analytical model investigates the cortical bone fracture at the microscale level. The results indicate that cortical bone microcrack propagation is greatly influenced by ...

Long-term treatment with a bisphosphonate degrades fracture-resistance–toughening mechanisms that contribute to healthy bone, setting the stage for the rare but catastrophic risk of patients ...
