High impact information on Bone Lengthening

In this study, effects of a single local injection of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2 or basic FGF) on callotasis bone lengthening were examined in rabbits [1].
Bone lengthening for the midline mandibular hypoplasia and orthodontic treatment were performed in the three cases with satisfactory results [2].
Histological and immunohistochemical examinations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2, -4 (BMP-2, -4) were performed at the margins of bone formation after femoral bone lengthening [3].
It is not easy to establish a direct correlation between these changes and the values reported here on bone growth in weight and length, however seems possible to point a negative relationship between bone lengthening and oestradiol binding site levels in female, as well a positive relationship with testosterone in both sexes [4].
