Modular prosthetic reconstruction for primary bone tumours of the distal tibia in ten patients
… benign and malignant bone tumours of the distal tibia yielding good oncological and functional results. However, in selected patients where limb salvage is feasible and amputation unacceptable to the patient, limb salvage using a distal tibial replacement (DTR) can be considered. This …

Comparison of a Dynamic Ankle Orthosis to a Walking Boot for Preserving Ankle Joint Motion and Reducing Tibial Bone Load and Strain
Tibial stress fractures are a common overuse injury accounting for 21.9 – 69% of stress fractures among runners and 24 – 51.2% of stress fractures in military cadets. Current treatment involves wearing a walking boot for 3 – 12 weeks, which limits ankle motion and causes lower limb muscle atrophy. …

The quantification of pregnancy-induced bone mineral mobilisation in the maternal appendicular skeleton with novel peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) techniques.
… distribution and strength at the radius and tibia. This thesis aims to determine: whether pregnancy-induced changes occur in a) the trabecular compartment, b) the cortical compartment, c) any potential predictors of a) and b); d) to explore the correlation and agreement of pQCT techniques …

Reliability and Validity of Body Composition and Bone Mineral Density Measurements by DXA
… validity of the QDR-4500A DXA in measurements of distal tibia (DT) BMD. Significant differences were not found between repeated measurements. Validity was established by a significant correlation between WB BMD and DT BMD. A third study examined the influence of navel jewelry on the accuracy of LS …

The role of neuromuscular performance on bone strength and properties in the forearm and lower leg of children
… in determining bone properties at the radius and tibia in children. Methods: 37 boys and 42 girls (mean age 10.5; SD 1.6y) had their dominant forearm and lower leg imaged using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and high resolution pQCT (HR-pQCT). Bone mass, density, area and …

Tibial bone properties and mechanics under atypical loading conditions
… effect of musculoskeletal fatigue and bracing on tibial strains. Cyclic loading of bone below yield limit is associated with microdamage accumulation and can increase injury risk. The recovery of bending strength has been shown to be a function of the rest days allowed after fatigue loading in …
