Background: Detailed morphometric data concentrating on the development of primary ossification centres in human fetuses is critical for the early detection of developmental defects. Thus, an understanding of the growth and development of the parietal bone is crucial in assessing both the normal and pathological development of the calvaria.
Materials And Methods: The size of the parietal primary ossification centre in 37 spontaneously aborted human fetuses of both sexes (16 males and 21 females) aged 18-30 weeks was studied by means of computed tomography, digital-image analysis and statistics.
Results: The numerical data of the parietal primary ossification centre in the human fetus displays neither sex nor laterality differences. With relation to fetal age in weeks, the parietal primary ossification centre grew in sagittal diameter according to the quadratic function: y = 16.322 + 0.0347 × (age)² ± 1.323 (R² = 0.96), in projection surface area according to the cubic function: y = 284.1895 + 0.051 × × (age)³ ± 0.490, while in both coronal diameter and volume according to the quartic functions: y = 21.746 + 0.000025 × (age)⁴ ± 1.256 and y = 296.984 + + 0.001 × (age)⁴, respectively.
Conclusions: The obtained morphometric data of the parietal primary ossification centre may be considered age-specific references, and so may contribute to the estimation of gestational ages and be useful in the diagnostics of congenital cranial defects.

Background: There has been an increasing interest in elbow hemiarthroplasty to circumvent the problems with total elbow arthroplasty for comminuted distal humerus fractures in the elderly. The primary aim of the study is to assess the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing TEA and hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of data for patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures (OTA- C3 Comminuted total articular fractures) was done.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased along with an increasing demand for improved quality of life. Combined with prolonged life expectancy, the number of revision surgeries is expected to increase. Stress shielding is a significant issue with traditional femoral stems used in THA, making revision surgeries particularly challenging in younger patients.

Chemerin, an adipocyte-secreted adipokine, can regulate bone resorption and bone formation and is a promising therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, the effect of endogenous chemerin on intraosseous vascular remodeling in postmenopausal osteoporosis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of chemerin on osteogenesis formation and intraosseous vascular remodeling in ovariectomized Rarres2 knockout (Rarres2) mice.

Objectives: This study investigates whether the intra-operative administration of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA), known for its hemostatic and potential anti-inflammatory properties, affects the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following surgery for elbow fracture-dislocations.
Methods: Design: Prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Setting: Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Unit.

Background: TGF-β1 is the most abundant cytokine in bone, in which it serves as a vital factor to interdict adipogenesis and osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, how TGF-β1 concurrently manipulates differentiation into these two distinct lineages remains elusive.
Methods: Treatments with ligands or inhibitors followed by biochemical characterization, reporter assay, quantitative PCR and induced differentiation were applied to MSC line or primary BM-MSCs for signaling dissection.
