any break in a bone classified according to bone damage
fracture
healing time depends on complexity and age/health of the individual
fracture

fracture
formation of soft callus
fracture
formation of hard callus
fracture
hard callus persists for 3-4 months while osteoclasts dissolve dead bone fragments
fracture
open or closed reduction for treatment
fracture
compact bone replaces spongy bone, remodeling callus until only slightly thickening remains at site
fracture
manipulating bone fragments into normal position
fracture
decreased bone mass, increased susceptibility to fracture

osteogenic sarcoma
most often in femur, tibia & humerus during growth spurt of teen males
osteogenic sarcoma
autosomal dominant disorder
achondroplastic dwarfism
long bones quit growing during childhood while growth of other bones is unaffected
achondroplastic dwarfism
chondrocytes in epiphyses fail to multiply & enlarge
achondroplastic dwarfism
individual has normal sized head & torso but significaltly shorter limbs
achondroplastic dwarfism
