Description
Springer Blood Supply of Bone Scientific Aspects 1st Editon 2011 Softbound by Murray Brookes, William J. Revell
Blood Supply of Bone: Scientific Aspects provides a comprehensive description of the development and physiology of blood supply to the skeleton. Investigative techniques for different types of bone in the body are discussed and the effects of disturbed circulation and the vascular control of osteogenesis is described. This highly illustrated and authoritative volume contains much revised material and many new illustrations reflecting 25 years of advances in this research field since the publication of its well-known precursor in 1971. The wealth of information will not only be invaluable to orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and radiologists but also pathologists, sports medicine specialists and bone metabolism research workers. 1 Introduction.- 2 Nutrient vessels in long bones.- 3 Modes of bone growth: disposition of the nutrient artery.- 4 Early development of nutrient vessels.- 5 Blood supply of irregular bones — 1: Vertebral column.- 6 Blood supply of irregular bones — 2: Carpal and tarsal bones.- 7 Blood supply of flat bones.- 8 Blood vessels in bone marrow.- 9 Cortex and periosteum.- 10 Cartilage canals.- 11 Growth cartilages.- 12 Synovial joints — 1.- 13 Synovial joints — 2.- 14 Synovial joints — 3.- 15 Introduction to bone haemodynamics.- 16 Measurement of bone vascularity.- 17 Bone blood flow measurement — 1: Indicator dilution.- 18 Bone blood flow measurement — 2: Clearance of bone seeking tracers.- 19 Bone blood flow measurement — 3: Arteriolar blockade.- 20 Disturbed osseous circulation — 1: Arterial ischaemia.- 21 Disturbed osseous circulation — 2: Effects of venous obstruction on bone.- 22 Bone haemodynamics in venous impediment.- 23 Vascular control of osteogenesis.- Author Index.
