Skeletal maturation

One of the most common types of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder with 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The classical form, defined by cortisol insufficiency, is accompanied by prenatal androgen excess causing variable masculinization degrees of external genitalia in babies with a 46, XX karyotype.

Giant cell tumors (GCT) around the knee are common and pose a special problem of reconstruction after tumor excision, especially for grade III GCT. We questioned whether en bloc resection and reconstruction with alcohol inactivated autograft-prosthesis composite would provide (1) local control and long-term survival and (2) useful limb function in patients who had grade III GCT around the knee.

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical behaviour of two bioabsorbable interference screws with different geometries. Methods: Two different pitch (2.5 and 5 mm) bioabsorbable interference screws, both 9 × 30 mm, were tested. Tests were performed with forty bovine digital extensor tendons and skeletally mature porcine tibiae.

CCD is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of Runt related transcription factor (RUNX2) essential for osteoblast cell commitment and chondrocyte maturation. A mutation of the RUNX2 (Core Binding Factor-α1 gene located at chromosome 6p21) is usually caused CCD. In general, the estimated prevalence of CCD is under diagnosed because of the relative lack of medical complications in comparison to other skeletal dysplasias. No available data on the prevalence of CCD or its characterization in Saudi families.

Bone formation occurs by two distinct mechanisms, namely, periosteal ossification and endochondral ossification. In both mechanisms, osteoblasts play an important role in the secretion and mineralization of bone-specific extracellular matrix. Differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts is a prerequisite to bone formation and is regulated by many factors.

In an era of spectacular medical advances, it is easy to become immune to the announcement of new “breakthroughs”. This in no way lessens the remarkable achievements of diagnostic imaging over the last few years in which the field of Nuclear Medicine has shared. To the outsider the specialty of Nuclear Medicine can appear confusing and esoteric since it operates in a world of invisible radioactive emissions, nuclear decay charts and obscure elements.
