Objective: Microvascular perfusion is indispensable for the growth and remodulation of membrane bone. Trauma, inflammation and surgical interventions may alter periosteal perfusion. However, there is not much known about periosteal perfusion in membrane bones. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a new chronic model that permits the repeated in vivo analysis of the microcirculation of periosteum.
Methods: A circular skin island with a diameter of 6 mm was excised at the forehead of six Lewis rats. Then a newly developed chamber was implanted, containing a coverglass to protect the periosteum. Intravital microscopy (IVM) enables a quantitative analysis of periosteal microcirculation immediately as well as 3, 5 and 10 days after chamber implantation. At the end of the experiment the calvaria and periosteum were removed for histological examination. Six unoperated Lewis rats served as histological controls.
Results: The periosteal microcirculation remained stable over 10 days. The implantation of the chamber did not result in any substantial inflammatory response. The functional microvascular density was 131.2+/-19.3 cm/cm(2). The histological examinations revealed a regular anatomical structure of periosteum and bone including an intact interface.
Conclusion: The presented model allows for the first time to conduct a repetitive, quantitative in vivo analysis of the periosteal microcirculation in membrane bone. Future studies may thus evaluate novel strategies to influence the periosteal perfusion.

Objective: Researchers have proposed a novel surgical treatment for moderate diabetic foot ulcer: tibial periosteal distraction (TPD) which could improve affected limb microcirculation. We aimed to describe the method and therapeutic effects of this technique.
Methods: We provided a technical guide to perform TPD surgery for the treatment of moderate diabetic foot ulcer of who had been treated in our department.

Trial Design: This controlled in vivo experimental study examines the impact of two periosteum preparation techniques on microcirculation during bone augmentation with isogenic bone grafts in rats.
Methods: Twenty female Lewis rats were divided into two groups (n=10 each). In one group, the periosteum was prepared with a conventional periosteal elevator; in the other, a piezoelectric device was used.

Objectives: Bisphosphonates are known to induce a severe adverse effect known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Previous studies have proven the impact of bisphosphonates on microperfusion; therefore, this study aimed to investigate alendronate-induced microcirculatory reactions in the calvarial periosteum of rats.
Study Design: Bone chambers were implanted into 48 Lewis rats.

Introduction: We examined the endosteal and periosteal circulations in a patient with fracture non-union who had undergone excessive osteosynthesis applications (two long plates had been placed medially and laterally on the left tibia extending from the proximal 2/7 to the distal 6/7 parts of the bone, while a tibial component of a total knee prosthesis with a long stem had been inserted at the same time).
Methods: Concomitant perfusion changes were determined in the anterolateral and anteromedial periosteal sheath of the non-united bone ends and intramedullary nearest the osteosynthesis materials during their surgical removal on re-operation. The blood flow in the periosteum and endosteum was recorded by a laser-Doppler flowmetric device using a novel approach.

We investigated the possibilities of angioprotection and the reduction of osteonecrosis in rats that had been given bisphosphonates. In our experiment, 27 rats were divided into three groups: Group 1 was injected with saline; Group 2 was given zoledronic acid for six weeks; and Group 3 was given zoledronic acid for six weeks, with added doses of sulodexide after three weeks. After that we constructed a model of how the teeth should be extracted.
