OSTEOCYTIC REMODELING: QUESTION HISTORY MODERN REPRESENTATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES OF THE CLINICAL ESTIMATION

The article discusses in a chronological order the terms used by different researchers during over 150 years to describe the phenomenon of osteocytic remodeling (halisteresis, oncosis with trypsis, Inseln von basophiler Substanz, zone of diffusion, intermediate resorption areas, sinus type of resorption, liquid bone, osteocytic osteolysis, osteocytes of osteoblastic type, osteocytes of osteoclastic type, resorption periosteocytaire, nid d’abeilles, calciolysis, cementolysis, osteocytic remodeling). According to the authors’ opinion a big step forward has been made in developing functional morphology of this phenomenon and defining the circle of problems, which being solved will allow further qualitative development of osteocytic remodeling concept. The time has come to systematize the known facts, and basing on its results to outline further directions of experimental-theoretical studies aimed at elaboration of methods of osteocytic remodeling and their implementation in clinical practice.
