Altered pore characteristics and geometry in diaphyseal cortical bone affected by experimental inflammatory arthritis
Abstract
In experimental inflammatory arthritis (EIA), a loss of fracture toughness has been demonstrated in femoral diaphyseal bone. This may be attributed to porosity within the cortex. The purpose of this study was to contrast pore characteristics and femoral geometry of normal and arthritic bone. EIA was induced by repeated carrageenan injection into the right ribio-femoral joint of ten rabbits. Ten normal rabbits served as a control group. …
