Critical considerations on the diagnostic appraisal, adaptation and remodelling of bone graft substitutes
Folia Morphol 2006;65(1):59-62.
Abstract
The diagnostic assessment of skeletal defects has a long-standing tradition. As
a result of the development of new bone grafting materials, the demands on
diagnostic assessment have also increased. The mode and quality of diagnostic
appraisal are crucial to further clinical use and outcome prediction. Alongside
traditional clinical and biological techniques, molecular biological methods have
gained a broad scope of application and will be used even more frequently in
the future.
