Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement is recognized as a major cause of hip pain and early hip joint osteoarthritis in young adults. The dynamic conflict between the femoral neck and the acetabular rim has been shown to result in labral tears, cartilage lesions, and early osteoarthritis. To be successful, the treatment strategy should address the underlying pathomorphology at the femoral neck, the acetabulum, or both. An overview of the various pathomorphologies leading to femoroacetabular impingement and a treatment algorithm intended to preserve the native hip joint should be helpful to the orthopaedic surgeon tr...

Abstract
Disorders of the hip joint can be physically disabling for the patient and a diagnostic challenge for the physician. Advances in imaging the hip with MRI can help the physician determine a more specific diagnosis for patients with acute or chronic hip pain. MRI and particularly magnetic resonance arthrography have helped raised awareness of nonarthritic hip problems and have made the diagnosis of hip problems much easier. Intra-articular and extra-articular processes can be evaluated with MRI; multiple sequences are available to increase the sensitivity and specificity for detecting specific pathology arou...

Conclusions Appropriate management requires aggressive medical treatment and, at times, surgical intervention. If recognised early and

treatment, prevention and outcome of these infections.

Conclusions Using MRI data of 1,211 asymptomatic subjects, the standard values for the cervical spinal canal, dural tube, and spinal cord

The relatively high prevalence of abnormal MRI findings of the cervical spine in asymptomatic individuals emphasizes the dangers
of predicating operative decisions on diagnostic tests without precisely correlating these findings with clinical signs and
symptoms.

Abstract Osteocytes actively participate in almost every phase of mineral handling by bone. They regulate the mineralisation of osteoid
during bone formation, and they are also a major RANKL-producing cell. Osteocytes are thus able to liberate bone mineral by
regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity in response to a range of stimuli, including bone matrix damage, bone disuse
and mechanical unloading, oestrogen deficiency, high-dose glucocorticoid and chemotherapeutic agents. At least some of these
activities may be regulated by the osteocyte-secreted product, sclerostin. There is also mounting evid...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to review recent experimental and clinical publications on bone biology with respect to the optimal

include static bone compression and immobilisation/fixation for three weeks and intermittent dynamic loading treatment afterwards.
The optimal mechanical strain should be in the range of 100–2,000 microstrain, depending on the frequency of the strain application,
type of bone and location in the bone, age and hormonal status. Higher frequency of mech...

In this report, we describe a case of multiple insufficiency fractures occurring over 6 months in the bilateral knees of an

fracture was treated with a long leg cast for 6 weeks. The patient was able to walk with a walker 12 weeks after the injury,
but her right thigh muscles had atrophied. Four months after the first injury, she suffered left knee pain. Magneti...
