Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine if it was possible to detect in bone, at the epiphyseal growth plate and at the bone-implant interface, the presence of alkaline and acid phosphatases using Technovit 7200 VLC resin. In the plastic-embedded specimens it was possible to observe the simultaneous presence of acid and alkaline phosphatases at the epiphyseal growth plate in the presence of intra-articular implants. The morphology of the cells positive for the phosphatases was very clear, with no apparent diffusion of the reaction product and no sputter ground staining.
