Cover Story: Knowledge of the normal length and skeletal proportions of the lower limb is required as part of the evaluation of limb length discrepancy. When measuring limb length, modern standing full-length digital radiographs confer a level of clinical accuracy that is interchangeable with that of CT imaging. This article presents a normal range of values for lower limb length and skeletal proportion in adults using standing digital radiography. Here, a moderately strong inverse linear relationship (r = −0.35, p < 0.001, Pearson’s) was identified between the tibial length and the corresponding femorotibial ratio. View this paper

Gordon L. Klein

Osteology2021, 1(2), 73-79;https://doi.org/10.3390/osteology1020007

1 April 2021

Surprisingly little is known about the factors released from bone during resorption and the metabolic roles they play. This paper describes what we have learned about factors released from bone, mainly through the study of burn injuries, and what rol...
