This thesis is also published as Supplementum No. 161 to the Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica. To Annelies and to the memory of my first and finest teacher, my grandfather Jonkheer J. M. de Jonge, CE. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To do experimental work in addition to normal clinical daily duties is made possible only by the know-how, help and positive criticism made available by other workers, scientific or otherwise. All who in this way have contributed to the completion of this thesis receive my heartfelt thanks. In particular I have made grateful use of the actual help and advice of J. R. de Wijn Chem. E. (Department of Dental Materials), Dr F. W. Rhinelander (Professor of Orthopaedic Research, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, USA), R. A. M. J. Claessens Chem. D. (Department of Nuclear Medicine), J. R. Bakker, dispensing chemist and J. Ellul, anesthesiologist. The original ideas and helpfulness of Messrs. T. J. M. Arnoldussen (Instrument Workshop), A. J. Peters, Th. H. M. Arts, P. H. G. Philipsen and G. J. T. Gratters (Central Animal Laboratory) have been of much importance to me. Mrs Mieke H. J. Jacobs-Van den Hombergh and later Miss Diny H. J. Versleyen and Miss Gemma M. J. Bongers (Laboratory for Experimental Orthopaedics) prepared the specimens, and the autoradiograms were made with the technical assistance of N. V. M. Rijntjes (Dispensary). Indispen sable assistance was given by F. E. Schrijer (Instrumental Service) in fluor escence photomicrography. The drawings were supplied by the department of Medical Illustration (head: J. J. M. de Bekker). I have greatly ap preciated the efforts of the department of Medical Photography (head: A. T. A. Rcynen), which supplied the photomicrographs and advice in the lay-out of this thesis. The manuscript was typed with great care by Miss Irene A. Keizer and Miss Petra M. G. Jansen.
