There have been several reports about the clavicular and acromioclavicular motion, but a
precise motion has been unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the 3D …

Many researchers have evaluated the motions of the shoulder girdle, especially scapular and
humeral motion. However, few reports exist that describe motions of the acromioclavicular …

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging is an accurate non-invasive tool for visualizing
muscles, tendons, and bones. It also provides 3D coordinate values. The purpose of the …

The volume of the volar soft tissue, dorsal soft tissue, and bone and the area of the dorsal and
volar surfaces were estimated in 35 adult cadaver fingertips. The fingertip was defined as …

Background: Some studies have advocated marrow penetration in guided bone augmentation
(GBA), whereas others have shown that bone can be generated without marrow …

Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)‐2 in a
bioabsorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier supports significant bone formation. However, …

Femoro‐acetabular impingement has been proposed as a causative factor of primary hip
osteoarthritis. However, primary osteoarthritis of the hip is infrequent in Japan and other Asian …

This study evaluated the effects of different sizes of β-TCP particles on bone augmentation
within a titanium cap. In 20 rabbits, the calvarium was exposed and a circular groove was …

Background: An experimental study of rabbit calvaria evaluated the suitability of porous β‐tricalcium
phosphate (β‐TCP) block as a biomaterial for onlay bone grafting and determined …

Many studies have shown that alloplastic bone grafts are clinically stable and safe.
Nevertheless, postoperative problems such as ankylosis and root resorption are associated with …
