Primary cultures of chick osteocytes retain functional gap junctions between osteocytes and between osteocytes and osteoblasts [PDF]
, 2008 The inaccessibility of osteocytes due to their embedment in the calcified bone matrix in vivo has precluded direct demonstration that osteocytes use gap junctions as a means of intercellular communication.

Orthopedic workforce planning in Germany – an analysis of orthopedic accessibility
PLOS ONE, 2017 In Germany, orthopedic workforce planning relies on population-to-provider-ratios represented by the 'official degree of care provision'. However, with geographic information systems (GIS), more sophisticated measurements are available. By utilizing GIS-based technologies we analyzed the current state of demand and supply of the orthopedic workforce in

Improvement in corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of AZ31 magnesium alloy by NH+2 ions [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Magnesium alloys have been considered to be favorable biodegradable metallic materials used in orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. We introduce NH+2 to the AZ31 Mg alloy surface by ion implantation at the energy of 50 KeV with doses ranging from 1e16 ions/cm2 to 1e17 ions/cm2 to improve its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
