Significance: Photoacoustic (PA) technology shows great potential for bone assessment. However, the PA signals in cancellous bone are complex due to its complex composition and porous structure, making such signals challenging to apply directly in bone analysis.
Aim: We introduce a photoacoustic differential attenuation spectrum (PA-DAS) method to separate the contribution of the acoustic propagation path to the PA signal from that of the source, and theoretically and experimentally investigate the propagation attenuation characteristics of cancellous bone.
Approach: We modified Biot's theory by accounting for the high frequency and viscosity. In parallel with the rabbit osteoporosis model, we build an experimental PA-DAS system featuring an eccentric excitation differential detection mechanism. Moreover, we extract a PA-DAS quantization parameter-slope-to quantify the attenuation of high- and low-frequency components.
Results: The results show that the porosity of cancellous bone can be evaluated by fast longitude wave attenuation at different frequencies and the PA-DAS slope of the osteoporotic group is significantly lower compared with the normal group (**).
Conclusions: Findings demonstrate that PA-DAS effectively differentiates osteoporotic bone from healthy bone, facilitating quantitative assessment of bone mineral density, and osteoporosis diagnosis.

Objectives Of The Study: (1) To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with bone marrow aspirate on regenerative capacity in patients undergoing iliac bone grafting for secondary alveolar bone grafting. (2) and to compare it with group 2 where only bone marrow aspirate was used along with iliac bone graft in secondary alveolar bone grafting.
Materials And Methods: A prospective study on patients with cleft alveolus, requiring bone grafting and reporting to our unit from October 2018 to October 2020 was included in this study.

Titanium alloys are widely used in the manufacture of orthopedic prosthesis given their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the primary drawbacks of traditional titanium alloy prosthesis are their much higher elastic modulus than cancellous bone and poor interfacial adhesion, which lead to poor osseointegration. 3D-printed porous titanium alloys can partly address these issues, but their bio-inertness still requires modifications to adapt to different physiological and pathological microenvironments.

Despite the broad agreement that bone stiffness is heavily dependent on the underlying bone density, there is no consensus on a unified relationship that applies to both cancellous and cortical compartments. Bone from the two compartments is generally assessed separately, and few mechanical test data are available for samples from the transitional regions between them. In this study, we present a data-driven framework integrating experimental testing and numerical modeling of the human lumbar vertebra through an energy balance criterion, to develop a unified density-modulus relationship across the entire vertebral body, without the necessity of differentiation between trabecular and cortical regions.

OI, or bone brittle disease, is characterized by increased mineralization of bone matrix independently of clinical severity. So, a beneficial effect of antiresorptive treatments such as bisphosphonates (BP) is questionable. We aim to compare the bone matrix characteristics before and after BP pamidronate (PAM).

Background: Surgical management methods for Hepple IV-V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) are diverse. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic autologous cancellous bone grafting and medial malleolar osteotomy combined with autologous periosteal iliac bone grafting in the treatment of medial Hepple IV-V OLT.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients who underwent surgical treatment for Hepple IV-V OLT (2020-2023) was conducted.
