| The tumor is eccentric, usually metaphyseal, but it may extend into the epiphysis or along the medullary cavity into the diaphysis. |
|
| As it grew, this bone was replaced in the medullary cavity through processes of erosion and redeposition. |
|
| Microscopy revealed acellular laminated membranes with a germinal layer within the medullary cavity of the tibia and fibula. |
|
| The medullary cavity was then carefully inoculated with 5 μl of the different bacterial suspensions using a microsyringe. |
|
| Primary stability is achieved by wedging the stem in the prepared medullary cavity. |
|
| In the proximal region of the stem, the shape of the cross-section and the enlarged surface structure fill up the medullary cavity. |
|
| In addition, there was increased opacity of long bone due to ossification of the medullary cavity. |
|
| Granulomas result in punched-out cortical erosions or central lytic lesions within the medullary cavity. |
|
| The bacterial suspension was injected into the medullary cavity through the catheter. |
|
| Mild edema of the medullary cavity was present in most of these cases. |
|
| The diaphysis and metaphysis are nourished primarily by the nutrient artery, which passes through the cortex into the medullary cavity and then ramifies outward through haversian and Volkmann canals to supply the cortex. |
|
| Chondromas are benign tumors of hyaline cartilage that may arise from the medullary cavity or the surface of the bone. |
|
| Fig. 15: Distal to the transverse osteotomy of the transfemoral approach, the medullary cavity is reamed with conical reamers to create a conical seat for the conical stem of the revision prosthesis. |
|
| Primary stability is obtained by wedging the stem in the prepared medullary cavity, and the risk of a postoperative subsidence is reduced due to the triple taper design. |
|
| The proximal end of bone was as a rule used for the socket of the spearhead, the epiphysis and part of diaphysis were cut off so that medullary cavity formed a socket. |
|
| If arising within the medullary cavity, they are known as enchondromas. |
