Watery AVASCULAR environs with proteoglycans and Type II collagen arcs
Cartilage
Where is cartilage mineralized?
growth plates of bones
What kind of cells maintain bone matrix?
chondrocytes
compression, embryonic growth – think Jello
cartilage
tension and strength – think Tree
Bone
35% organic matrix (Collagen type I) + 65% mineral – Ca, P, Mg, Na; LITTLE water
Bone
VASCULAR, constant turnover (rapid growth, slow adult)
Bone
To contrast bone from cartilage, you need ............
blood vessels!
To proliferate matrix after injury, you wont get ____ bc you need blood vessels.
You'll get ____, first.
To proliferate matrix after injury, you wont get __BONE__ bc you need blood vessels.
You'll get _CARTILAGE_, first.
Long Bones all have...
cortex
cortex arises from ??
periosteum
Haversian canals run ___

Volkmann canals run_____
Haversian: longitudinally

Volkmann: transversely (perpendicular to Haversian, connecting Haversian with periosteum)
osteoclasts munch in a ...
howship lacuna
synonyms for SPONGY bone
Trabecular
cancellous
spongy

Filling the interior of the bone is the trabecular bone tissue (an open cell porous network also called cancellous or spongy bone)
Callus
Bone Repair

"Bony granulation tissue" It makes fibroblasts and the magic that turns on bone formation. That’s it!

temporary formation of fibroblasts and chondroblasts which forms at the area of a bone fracture as the bone attempts to heal itself. The cells eventually dissipate and become dormant, lying in the resulting extracellular matrix that is the new bone.
process of bone repair after fracture.
1) acute response (clean up by mphages)
2) osteogenic granulation tissue
3) union (reconstitute the structure)
4) remodeling to perfect structure
Intact Vasculature
Stability
Alignment
Approximation
Clean environs
Normal metabolic state
Age dependant
factors required for successful repair of fractures!!
Compartment syndrome
Local vessel and/or nerve damage
Fat embolism [femur; Rare]
Fractures

early complications
Secondary osteomyelitis
Compromised vasculature
Malalignment, large gap
Fractures

late complications
major fracture with a lot of blood, fluid collection, like in your leg
Compression of blood vessels, etc.
End up with necrotic leg.
compartment syndrome

(Fascial compartment of the leg, for ex)
A fracture in which bone is broken, splintered or crushed into a number of pieces.
Comminuted fractures
common location of what becomes a "complicated" fracture
tibia/fibula

No mm on top of your shin, how many times have you run into something? Distal tibia doesn’t have much blood supply anyway. You don’t have that many periosteal blood vessels so soon you have a non-union fracture due to the inadequate blood supply.
Non-union fracture that resulted in amputation. Fibula and tibia. Young person. Complicated by site and limited blood supply.
alcoholic, constantly falling down breaking bones, who seems to have 2 elbows
pseudoarthrosis
Causes for bone necrosis?
Traumatic [fracture]

Infection [septic necrosis, sequestrum]

Avascular (idiopathic) necrosis
Absence of osteocytes in bone lacunae, death of adjacent marrow
Bone Necrosis
how is bone necrosis repaired by the body?
“creeping substitution” of new bone around dead bone
common broken bones
femoral head (hip)

distal tibia (ankle)

scaphoid (base of thumb)
Symptomatic commonly if subchondral;

other sites may be silent
avascular necrosis
Associated with.....

Dysbarism

Gaucher disease

Sickle cell anemia/hemoglobinopathies

Alcoholism

Cushing syndrome/Prednisone use
avascular necrosis
femoral head:

Dead subchondral bone with articular cartilage collapse
avascular necrosis

location?
Vertebral column more common

usually secondary, a result of (Say) necrosis or peripheral neuropathy of the big toe in a diabetic.
