T/F: Fracture stimulates the release of growth hormone that promote angiogenesis and vasodilation.
T.
T/F: Patients should limit activity for a long time after fracture to provide mechanical stability to promote bone repair.
F.
- True for the first month
- after that, loading and motion stimulate healing.

What happens if there is over-stabilition after bone fracture?
Atrophic nonunion
Atrophic nonunion is caused by ___ whereas hypertrophic nonunion is caused by ___.
Atrophic nonunion is caused by overstabilizaiton/infection whereas hypertrophic nonunion is caused by inadequate stabilization.
What are the three stages of fracture healing?
1. inflammation
2. repair
3. remodeling

- local vessel thrombose -> bony necrosis
- increase capillary permeability -> swollen
- growth factors stimulate proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal cells from periostium and peripheral blood.
Stages of fracture healing: repair
fibroblasts and chondrocytes produce callus (matrix)

- periosteal(hard) callus: intramembranous ossification
- intramedullary(soft) callus: endochondral ossification
Stages of fracture healing: repair

Which type of callus is formed by intramembranous ossificatiion?
periosteal(hard) callus
Stages of fracture healing: repair

Which type of callus is formed by endochondral ossificatiion?
intramedullary(soft) callus
When is a fractured patient considered clinically healed?
When patient has no pain at the fracture site
Stages of fracture healing: remodeling
- woven bone converted to lamellar bone
- unneeded callus removed
- reconstiturte medullary cavity
- bone reconstructed in response to stress (convex surface is electropositive and has osteoclast activity, concave surface is electronegative and has osteoblast activity) and strain (Wolff's law).
What is Wolff's law?
Bone in a healthy person will adapt to the loads it is placed under. If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger.The external cortical portion of the bone becomes thicker as a result.
Convex or concave surface?

electropositive
convex

electronegative
concave
Convex or concave surface?

osteoclast activity
convex
Convex or concave surface?

Which mechanism of bone healing is this?

- no motion at the frature site: rigid internal fixation

Which mechanism of bone healing is this?

- contact healing
- gap healing (<200-500 microns)
direct bone healing

- contact healing: lamellar bone formed directly
- gap healing (<200-500 microns): woven bone first then remodeled to lamellar bone.
Which mechanism of bone healing is this?

- gap healing (large gaps)
