✦ Synopsis

A critical size defect (CSD) is the diameter of a bone wound such that beyond that amount, complete calcification of the wound will not occur during the lifetime of the animal. Adam [1] recently developed a one-dimensional model of this phenomenon, and Arnold and Adam [2] addressed the CSD in a two-dimensional model. This paper extends the study of the CSD phenomenon to three dimensions. A model is introduced in which a spherical gouge or wound has removed the entire bone and tissue within the wound area. It transpires that the range of CSD sizes for a reasonable estimate of the critical size defect is from 0.4 cm up to 1.5 cm for the parameter values considered. More realistic estimates await the appropriate experimental data. (~) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The purpose of this study was to analyze histomorphometrically the influence of the ratio of particulate autogenous bone (AB) graft/platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone healing in surgically created critical-size defects (CSD) in rat calvaria. Fifty rats were divided into five groups: Group C (control
