This view is inconsistent with our knowledge of the blood supply of the cortex of the shaft of bones.
Concomitantly with the formation of hypertrophic cartilage in the diaphysis, mesenchymal cells in the surrounding perichondrium, in particular in the groove of Ranvier (Langenskiöld, 1998), differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells, forming the periosteum and subsequently the calcified cortical bone shaft of long bones (Bianco et al., 1998).
Image collection began from the metaphysis of the proximal tibia, immediately beneath the subchondral bone, and continued towards the shaft of the bone.
Enchondroma, solitary benign cartilaginous tumour that occurs mostly in the shafts of bones of the hands and feet, usually between adolescence and about age 50.
There is extensive bone oedema involving the head of the proximal phalanx and extending down the shaft of the bone.
Most routine ulnar fractures are due to a fall and occur at the wrist rather than in the shaft of the bone as with the players' impact injuries.
The femur was short and extremely robust, had a very high collodiaphyseal angle (the angle of the neck and shaft of the bone), and the greater trochanter was small.
(B ) High magnification detail (inset B') of arterioles containing Nes-GFP+ cells during invasion of the distal shaft of fetal bone.
A 100 × 50 pixel box was marked from this point to include the mid shaft of the bone.
We then made two osteotomies at the shaft of the bone, 8 mm and 16 mm from the knee, using a fine-toothed circular saw blade mounted on an electric drill, and removed the segment.
