Answers like will osteophytes be absorbed over time will become clearer as we undertake more research. You can decide how my joints have increased or not based on the finger videos. <br /><br />Annonymous #1: I wish I know how to measure pressure.

I've got...Thank you for this worthful article!<br /><br />I've got a question. What pressure (in numbers) do you (tyler) use for your epiphysis? Is there any tool to messure pressure ... This could help a lot of us: probably the most of us use an ineffective amount of pressure for loading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013552121036660524.post-83987121219743955042011-08-04T21:23:50.147-07:002011-08-04T21:23:50.147-07:00Hey Tyler, it's Boba155.
I enjoyed this blog ...Hey Tyler, it's Boba155.<br /><br />I enjoyed this blog post. I believe we are coming to common ground.<br /><br />I wish to apologize for being rather... cross on the LSJL forums. I simply could see no way the LSJL could increase joint width, much less bone length. Now it appears that the only thing that would, osteophytes, actually occur because of LSJL.<br /><br />First off, I am quite happy about the possibility of the osteophytes being beneficial to the joint. I was under the assumption of my colleagues that all osteophyte formation is a bad thing, a result of damaged articular cartilage. Apparently we were off mark, and osteophytes may be beneficial.<br /><br />This raises quite a few questions however.<br /><br />The first, is would these osteophytes be resorbed over time?Subcutaneous injection of PGE2 stimulates a massive increase in diaphyseal bone diameter - only to be resorbed over the next year as the bone remodels back to it's original shape. I actually suspect that osteophytes will be a bit different - after all, they are the result of endochondral ossification, a bit more permanent of a process than periosteal apposition.<br /><br />The second question is quite obvious, and the one we are quite focused on: does the increase in joint width from LSJL result from osteophyte formation? Why I have quite an inkling it does (not a bad thing), I wonder why an LSJL-widened joint does not look like a typical osteophyte-studded joint. The LSJL-widened joint appears to have maintained most of it's original shape, while osteophyte studded joints appear to bulge out mid-epiphysis and then are normal on proximal and distal ends. <br /><br />Have your joints increased in size? Does it appear to resemble an osteophyte-studded joint (i.e. finger joints are now more oval than circular)? <br /><br />And I guess the final question is, how can we manipulate this? That was an astute observation of yours: an osteophyte actualy increased bone length since it formed on top of the bone... and in what seems to be a post-pubertal bone at that...<br /><br />I guess the problem now is, how could we direct these osteophytes to form at the ends of the bones, rather than the sides of the epiphysises? Any ideas? I will work with a few guys in our lab when I have free time.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you.Boba155noreply@blogger.com
