	BoneDensitometers.com: About Bone Densitometry
		Bone densitometry is a noninvasive technology that is used to measure bone mass.
		Bone mass cannot be deduced accurately from any other clinical data, and risk factors for osteoporosis based on medical history or physical examination are not good predictors of bone mass.
		Bone loss can be reduced by treatment, but it is difficult, if not impossible, to restore the biomechanical competence of the skeleton once bone has been lost because bone architecture has been disrupted.

	Wrist Hand
		At the elbow, the dominant bone of flexion and extension is the ulna.
		Their centers begin to convert to bone substance and those centers take over more and more until the carpal bones are made of bone with just cartilage surfacing (the space you see between the carpal bones).
		Bone age is the age as suggested by the maturity seen on x-ray.

	ACVS - Bone Tumors in Cats and Dogs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Osteosarcoma of the long bones is a highly malignant disease in dogs, with metastasis (spread) of the tumor occurring in approximately 10% of dogs at the time of diagnosis and up to 90% of dogs at the time of death.
		The incidence of bone metastasis is approximately the same as lung metastasis but has a much greater impact on management options, since there is a high risk of fracture through the metastatic lesion as a result of increased weight bearing after limb amputation.
		For flat bone tumors, the complications are dependent on location of the tumor and the type and extent of surgery performed to remove the tumor.

	Anatomy Tutorials - Radius Bone
		The radius is the bone of the forearm that extends from the outside (lateral) of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist.
		The radius is situated on the lateral side of the ulna, which exceeds it in length and size.
		The two bones are not just associated at the elbow and wrist joints, but cross attached by a flexible sheet - like the two posts of a canvas stretcher.

	Wrist Fractures & Dislocations, Houston, Texas - Dr. Evan Collins
		Among the most common type of fracture, the distal radius fracture affects the distal end (end towards the wrist) of the radius bone in the forearm - generally when the arm is used to break a fall.
		The type of fixation used to hold the bone in the correct position is determined based on the condition of the patient, lifestyle, and severity of the injury.
		While the scaphoid is the most frequently injured carpal bone - accounting for nearly 60 percent of all wrist (carpal) fractures - it is a difficult bone to break and is therefore most often the result of a strong force as in sports (football, basketball, motorcycle racing), or an automobile accident.

		Critical bone in the wrist lying next to the scaphoid which articulates with the radius forearm bone.
		A kidney shaped bone in the wrist near the base of the thumb that is critical to wrist function.
		Fractures are common here and can lead to healing problems due to relatively poor blood supply to this bone that may require bone stimulation (with a device) and/or surgery usually consisting of bone grafting.

	Distal Radius Fractures, Broken Wrist
		The radius is the forearm bone on the thumb side (in the xray above, it is the one on the right).
		Usually, if the broken bones need surgery (in medical terms, the fracture needs open reduction), some kind of metal implant will be needed to hold the bones in the proper place while they heal.
		He is actively involved with anatomy research, developing newer methods of distal radius fracture treatment and with teaching surgeons from around the world about how to treat distal radius fractures.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Radius (bone)
		The radius is the bone of the forearm that extends from the outside (lateral) of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist.
		The long narrow medullary cavity is enclosed in a strong wall of compact bone which is thickest along the interosseous border and thinnest at the extremities except over the cup-shaped articular surface (fovea) of the head where it is thickened.
		The trabeculae of the spongy tissue are somewhat arched at the upper end and pass upward from the compact layer of the shaft to the fovea capituli; they are crossed by others parallel to the surface of the fovea.

	Treatment of a segmental bone defect with BMP
		Species-specific canine bone morphogenetic protein induced bone formation in a dog radius bone defect with a PLA/PGA carrier in a study where BMP was also compared with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β).
		The incorporation of autogeneic bone in the ulnar defect occurred within the same period as bone regeneration induced by BMP, but the volume of the spindle of callus and the quantity of the BMP-induced new bone were significantly greater than those produced by a cortical bone autograft.
		Bone formation was demonstrated on the seventh postoperative day in the high-dose rhBMP-2 group, while the low-dose group radiographic showed no evidence of bone in the defects until the third or fourth postoperative week.

	Radius,Ulna2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Bone A is the radius and bone B is the ulna.
		Image 1 is the cranial view, and because the olecranon (E) curves medially and the styloid process (F) of the ulna is found caudal and lateral to the distal end of the radius, we can identify these bones as the left radius and ulna.
		The proximal extremity of the radius is the head (C), and the distal extremity is the trochlea (D).

	Wrist Fracture - Colles
		The most common types of wrist fractures are those involving one of the wrist bones, such as a scaphoid fracture, and those involving a break of the end of the forearm bones.
		A Colles fracture is a wrist fracture involving a break of the end of the radius bone of the forearm ("distal radius fracture").
		If the bone heals in the wrong position, it can be rebroken and re-set later, but the results of this late intervention are not as reliable, and usually not as good.

	FightingArts.com - An Old Okinawan Karate Secret? The Double Bone Block
		A double bone block is any basic block that is modified by the wrist/forearm position so both bones in the forearm make contact in a block rather than just a single bone on the edge of the forearm.
		The upper, thumb side bone is the radius and the little finger side bone is the ulna.
		In the single bone block (the version almost universally taught), the blocking surface is either the fatty part of the fist on the pinky side of the hand, or more often the outside of the forearm near the wrist.

		The radius bone lies laterally in the forearm; its caliber increases distally until it protrudes the styloid process in the wrist region.
		Generally, harvest the vascularized bone graft between the pronator teres (PT) and BR tendon insertions, remembering that the distal osteotomy must be made at least 2.5 cm proximal to the radius styloid process to allow insertion of at least 2 bicortical screws during internal fixation.
		Fifty percent of the radius circumference is harvested proximally to distally.

	The Upper Extremities
		The upper arm (humerus) is connected at the elbow joint to the two lower arm bones ulna (ulna) and spoke bone (radius), the ulna to the little finger side and the spoke bone to the thumb side.
		The metacarpal bones consist of five tubular bones arranged like a fan, whereby only the first one is connected with complete mobility via a saddle joint to the carpus (thumb saddle joint).
		The 14 finger bones (phalanges) are extremely mobile compared with the metacarpal bones, made possible by a series of muscles.

	Radius fractures
		Small breed dogs have a poor blood supply to the lower fourth of the radius bone, therefore it is more susceptible to being fractured; also healing of the fracture can take longer than other bones in the body.
		The plate may be placed on the inner side (medial) of the radius bone or it may be placed on the top side (dorsal) of the radius bone.
		A single pin placed in the marrow cavity of the bone to hold the fracture together is an old technique and is considered unacceptable, as nonhealing of the fracture frequently occurs.

	Custom Calls Online - How To Make a Wing Bone Call
		The wing bones of a domestic bird are just too thin and fragile for the call-wing bones from jakes taken in the fall have similar problems.
		The radius, ulna and humerus are the bones most commonly used in calls-with the radius as a mouthpiece, the ulna in the middle and humerus at the end.
		A rubber faucet washer can be slipped over the radius bone (mouthpiece) to give you lops something to feel and to ensure that the call is positioned correctly each time.
