In a precursor to this article the Biot model was used to model poroelastic media. The question this article addresses is whether the sort of experiments described by McKelvie and Palmer, Williams, and Hosokawa and Otani can be used to determine the parameters of the Biot model. A method of computing acoustic pressure in the low 100 kHz range was developed in Buchanan and Gilbert, "Determination of the parameters of cancellous bone using high frequency acoustic measurements," which appeared in Math. Comput. Modelling. In the present work a parameter recovery algorithm which uses parallel processing is developed and tested. It is found that when it is assumed that the agreement between calculated and measured data is about two digits, porosity can be determined to within about 1–2% and permeability, pore size and the bulk moduli to within about 40%, but in most cases less than 20%.

The Biot model is widely used to model poroelastic media. Several authors have studied its applicability to cancellous bone. In this article the feasibility of determining the Biot parameters of cancellous bone by acoustic interrogation using frequencies in the 5–15 kHz range is studied. It is found that the porosity of the specimen can be determined with a high degree of accuracy. The degree to which other parameters can be determined accurately depends upon porosity.

SummaryThis report has documented the repair and healing of two ilial fractures in dogs which were compounded by the presence of a cemented acetabular prosthesis. While specific recommendations can not be made from such a small number of cases, the information presented herein suggests that such fractures will heal without complication if aseptic surgical techniques and standard methods of internal fixation are employed. The authors strongly recommend the prophylactic use of intravenous antibiotics and the placement of cancellous bone graft when the repair of such fractures is attempted.Two traumatic ilial fractures involving the cement/bone interface of acetabular prostheses were repaired using lag screws, cerclage wires, and autogenous bone grafts. The fractures healed and ambulatory function was regained.

SummaryTwo perforated stainless steel cylinders and autogenous cancellous bone were implanted into each of the distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints of seven horses. In two control horses holes were drilled into each joint and autogenous cancellous bone was implanted without stainless steel cylinders. Horses which had cylinders implanted in the distal tarsal joints exhibited less lameness and were more comfortable following surgery than were the control horses. Fracture of the third tarsal, central tarsal, or third metatarsal occurred in five of the seven horses implanted with stainless steel cylinders within 45 days of surgery. Two implanted horses and two control horses were observed for five months after surgery. Partial fusion of the distal tarsal joints occurred in all four horses. Control horses were more lame than the implanted horses and developed a large bony exostosis over the medial distal tarsus.
