Functions of Bones

1 Movement of limbs, via mechanical support of muscles


2 Protection of the internal organs Ribs, skull


3 House bone marrow cells Medullary canal


4 Storage of calcium and phosphate salts

Facts to know about Bones

1 Bones are living tissues Constantly change, based on stress (pressure and tension) Hypertrophy, deconditioning


2 Bones are not affected by autoimmune diseases


3 Joints are affected by autoimmune diseases Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus

sprain

1 Injury to the ligamentous structures around a joint


2 Classified depending on amount of tissue damage First, second, third degree

Dislocations

1 Complete loss of joint integrity with loss of anatomic relationships


2 Often significant ligamentous damage occurs


3 Subluxation: partial disruption of Anatomic relationship within the joint

Heterotopic Ossification

1 Bone formation in muscle and other soft tissue areas


2 Occurs mostly after trauma


3 symptoms


May be asymptomatic


Pain and loss of motion


Edema, warmth, erythema, tenderness



PT

"defective bone formation"


1 Related to gene mutations encoding collagen type I


2 Collagen type I


Widespread in the body


Thin skin, defective heart valves, hearing problems, decrease tooth enamel


Affects bones and connective tissue


Clinical presentation depends on severity of disease

Osteomyelitis

Inflammation of the bones caused by an infectious organism In children, infection occurs via the circulatory system Bacteria enters the metaphysis through arteries supplying nutrients to the bone Metaphysis very porous, so the infection Spreads easily and multiplies rapidly -forms pus-spreads to the to adjacent Portions of the epiphyses.



Pus filled cavities form - body attempts to wall off infection by producing reactive bone Bone deformities result, increasing predisposition to fractures Fractures heal poorly because of pus in the area In adults... usually result of puncture wound into bone, open fx, or respiratory/urinary tract infection.

Medication


Exercise

Osteomalacia

"softening ot the bones"


Deficiency of calcium, vitamin D and/or phosphate causes inadequate mineralization of bone matrix.

Etiology Unknown



Pathogenesis


Initial stage: osteoclasts proliferate unrestrained


Bone resorption rapid and osteoblasts cannot keep up Bone replaced with fibrous tissue


Osteoblastic sclerotic phase


Normal bone structure replaced by excessive unorganized new bone formation



Symptoms


Asymptomatic

°Insufficiency


Simple-single fracture line


Complete


Extending through the entire thickness of the bones


Incomplete

Displaced-bone has moved on either side of fracture


Comminuted-multiple lines and fragments


Open-skin is disrupted


Closed-skin is not disrlipted


Complicated-infected fx

Fractures healing and medication management

Healing


lmmobilization vs surgical repair


Casting vs ORIF/THA/TKA

Once healing has finished, restructuring will occur once mobilization has begun

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Etiology

Common musculoskeletal disease degenerative process in spine Peak in 40-50 y/o



Etiology



Age related changes


Genetic inheritance


Inadequate metabolite transport


Repetitive external mechanical loading (Alteration of disc from prolonged sitting and heavy lifting)

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Pathogenesis

Same synovial process as in OA Intervertebral discs lose volume, shape and structure



Intervertebral disc looses height with age


Decline in arterial supply to the periphery of the disc and impaired nutrient delivery


· Affects cellular function Reduced cellular waste removal and increased lactic acid concentration Low pH compromises cellular metabolism Leads to cell death Repetitive external mechanical loading Repetitive external mechanical loading.Leads to fatigue failure of the matrix

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Associated conditions

Spinal stenosis Spinal


canal narrows (leaning forward alleviates pressure extention increases pressure)


Degenerative spondylolisthesis



Anterior slippage of one vertebrae on another


Both cause compression of the spinal cord


Further compromised if osteophytes are present



Some may not have any... But if they do... Both cause Low back pain Lower extremity pain and parasthesias Lower extremity weakness due to lack of innervation.stenosis Neurogenic claudicetion Symptoms Improve with flexion

Genetic and familial predisposition Environmental triggers Joint inflammation consequence of massive infiltration of immune cells into synovial fluid

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Pathogenesis

Primarily involves the synovial joints Begins as synovitis (thickening of synovial and edema)Leads to exudation of fluid and inflammatory cells Inflammation stimulates ingrowth of vessels and proliferation of synovial cells


Pannus develops Covers articular surfaces like a sheet Rich in inflammatory cells that secrete Iytic enzymes cartilage is destroyed and erodes Me underlying bone


Joints become immobilized Joint deformities result
