Wolff's law |
Stress causes bone remodeling to increase bone mass, the trabeculae align with stress. These changes are caused by osteoblast activity which increases with stress. |
|

4 steps of Bone healing |
1) Hematoma formation 2) Callus Formation 3) Callus Ossification 4) Bone remodeling |
|
Hematoma formation |
bleeding of bone causes a collection of clotted blood |
|
Callus Formation |
A callus is a proliferation of temporary soft tissue bridging broken ends, mostly collagen and some cartilage vasculature proliferation in and around hematoma macrophages engulf debris, osteoclasts dissolve dead tissue, fibroblasts synthesis and secrete collagen and granulation tissue chrondoblasts produce cartilage within the collagen, osteoblasts invade and new bone is formed osteoblasts/chondroblasts from external collar of bone cartilage |
|

|
osteoporosis |
decreased mineralization and bone matrix, re absorption outpaces deposition thinning makes bones more brittle, spongey bone is most susceptible causes by aging, declining reproduction hormones because estrogen and testosterone maintain osteocytes compounded by less osteocyte activity, calcium and Vitamin D are decreased in blood flow |
|
why is osteoporosis more common in women? |
because of sex hormones; men have slow decline of testosterone, in women estrogen declines rapidly at menopause, women also have lower bone density women can't orally take estrogen in middle age because it increases risk of breast caner, heart attack and stroke some medicines that may help are biphosphomates which encourage apoptosis of osteoclasts and calcitonin ( released by c cells of thyroid gland) which is a osteoclast inhibitor |

consists of two flat bone surfaces of about equal size between which a slight gliding motion can occur , uniaxial ex) articular process between vertebrae |
|
saddle joint |
consists of two saddle-shaped articulating surfaces oriented at right angles to each other so that their complementary surfaces articulate .Saddle joints are biaxial joints. The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is an example
|
|
hinge joint |
a uniaxial joint in which a convex cylinder in one bone is applied to a corresponding concavity in the other bone . Examples include the elbow and knee joints
|
|
pivot joint |
a uniaxial joint that restricts movement to rotation around a single axis A pivot joint consists of a relatively cylindrical bony process that rotates within a ring composed partly of bone and partly of ligament. The articulation between the head of the radius and the proximal end of the ulna is an example. The articulation between the dens, a process on the axis , and the atlas is another example.
|
|
ball and socket joint |
consists of a ball (head) at the end of one bone and a socket in an adjacent bone into which a portion of the ball fits.This type of joint is multiaxial, allowing a wide range of movement in almost any direction. Examples are the shoulder and hip joints.
|
|
ellipsoid joint |
is a modified ball-and-socket joint ). The articular surfaces are ellipsoid in shape, rather than spherical as in regular ball-and-socket joints. Ellipsoid joints are biaxial, because the shape of the joint limits its range of movement almost to a hinge motion in two axes and restricts rotation. The atlantooccipital joint of the neck is an example.
|
|
shoulder joint (glenhumeral joint) |
is a ball-and-socket jointthat has less stability but more mobility than the other ball-and-socket joint, the hip. Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction can all occur at the shoulder joint. The rounded head of the humerus articulates with the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula
|
|
glenoid labrum |
The rim of the glenoid cavity is built up slightly by the glenoid labrum, a fibrocartilage ring to which the joint capsule is attached
|
|
elbow joint (cubital joint) |
a compound hinge joint . It consists of the humeroulnar joint, between the humerus and ulna, and the humeroradial joint,between the humerus and radius. The proximal radioulnar joint, between the proximal radius and ulna, is also closely related. Movement at the elbow joint is limited to flexion and extension because of the shape of the trochlear notch and its association with the trochlea of the humerus . However, the rounded radial head rotates in the radial notch of the ulna and against the capitulum of the humerus , allowing pronation and supination of the hand
The elbow joint is surrounded by a joint capsule. The humeroulnar joint is reinforced by the ulnar collateral ligament (figure 8.22c). The humeroradial and proximal radioulnar joints are reinforced by the radial collateral ligament and the radial annular ligament (figure 8.22d). A subcutaneous olecranon bursa covers the proximal and posterior surfaces of the olecranon process. |
|
nurse maids elbow |
can be caused when the radial head becomes subluxated (partially separated) from the annular ligament of the radius. This can happen if a young child (usually under age 5) is lifted by one hand or swung by the arms.
|
|
hip joint (coxal joint) |
The femoral head articulates with the relatively deep, concave acetabulum of the hipbone to form the hip joint, or coxal joint . The head of the femur is more nearly a complete ball than the articulating surface of any other bone of the body. The acetabulum is deepened and strengthened by the acetabular labrum, a lip of fibrocartilage, which is incomplete inferiorly. The acetabulum is further deepened and strengthened by a transverse acetabular ligament, which crosses the acetabular notch on the inferior edge of the acetabulum. The hip is capable of a wide range of movement, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction.
An extremely strong joint capsule, reinforced by several ligaments, extends from the rim of the acetabulum to the neck of the femur (table 8.3). The iliofemoral ligament is especially strong. When standing, most people tend to thrust the hips Page 259anteriorly. This position is relaxing because the iliofemoral ligament supports much of the body’s weight. The ligament of the head of the femur (round ligament of the femur) is located inside the hip joint between the femoral head and the acetabulum. This ligament does not contribute much toward strengthening the hip joint; however, it does carry a small nutrient artery to the head of the femur in about 80% of the population. The deepened acetabular labrum, ligaments of the hip, and surrounding muscles make the hip joint much more stable but less mobile than the shoulder joint. |
|
knee joint |
traditionally classified as a modified hinge joint located between the femur and the tibia . Actually, it is a complex ellipsoid joint that allows flexion, extension, and a small amount of rotation of the leg. The distal end of the femur has two large, ellipsoid surfaces with a deep fossa between them. The femur articulates with the proximal end of the tibia, which is flattened and smooth laterally, with a crest called the intercondylar eminence in the center (see figure 7.35). The margins of the tibia are built up by menisci—thick, articular disks of fibrocartilage ), which deepen the articular surface. The fibula articulates only with the lateral side of the tibia, not with the femur.
The knee joint is stabilized by a combination of ligaments and tendons. The major ligaments that provide knee joint stability are the cruciate and collateral ligaments. Two ruciate ligaments extend between the intercondylar eminence of the tibia and the fossa of the femur. The anterior cruciate ligament prevents anterior displacement of the tibia relative to the femur, and the posterior cruciate ligament prevents posterior displacement of the tibia. The medial (tibial) andlateral (fibular) collateral ligaments stabilize the medial and lateral sides, respectively, of the knee. Joint strength is also provided by popliteal ligaments and tendons of the thigh muscles that extend around the knee |
|
ankle joint (talocrural) |
is a highly modified hinge joint formed by the distal tibia and fibula (figure 8.25). The medial and lateral malleoli of the tibia and fibula, which form the medial and lateral margins of the ankle, are rather extensive, whereas the anterior and posterior margins are almost nonexistent. As a result, a hinge joint is created. A fibrous capsule surrounds the joint, with the medial and lateral parts thickened to form ligaments. Other ligaments also help stabilize the joint (table 8.5).Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, and limited inversion and eversion can occur at this joint. |
|
chondromalacia |
softening of the cartilage, which results from abnormal movement of the patella within the patellar groove
|
|
fat pad syndrome |
which occurs when fluid accumulates in the fat pad posterior to the patella. Acute swelling in the knee appearing immediately after an injury is usually a sign of a hemarthrosis
|
|
hemarthrosis |
blood accumulation within the joint cavity. A slower accumulation of fluid, “water on the knee,” may be caused by bursitis.
|
|
The range of motion for a given joint is influenced by a number of factors:
|
Shape of the articular surfaces of the bones forming the joint
Amount and shape of cartilage covering those articular surfaces Strength and location of ligaments and tendons surrounding the joint Strength and location of the muscles associated with the joint Amount of fluid in and around the joint amount of pain in and around joint amount of use of disues the joint has had over time |
|
tempromandibular joint |
The mandibular condyle fits into the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. A fibrocartilage articular disk is located between the mandible and the temporal bone, dividing the joint into superior and inferior joint cavities (figure 8.20). The joint is surrounded by a fibrous capsule, to which the articular disk is attached at its margin, and is strengthened by lateral and accessory ligaments.
The temporomandibular joint is a combination plane and ellipsoid joint, with the ellipsoid portion predominating. Opening of the jaw first involves the inferior cavity of the TMJ below the articular disk. The mandibular condyle rotates anteriorly on the disk in the familiar hingelike movement of the jaw. The second portion of jaw opening occurs in the superior cavity of the TMJ. The articular disk and condyle together glide anteriorly. This is similar to the motion that occurs in protraction of the mandible. In addition, mediolateral movements of the mandibular condyle allow lateral excursion, or side-to-side, motions of the jaw. Together, these movements allow chewing and grinding in mastication. |
|
gliding movements |
Gliding movements are the simplest of all the types of movement. These movements occur in plane joints between two flat or nearly flat surfaces that slide or glide over each other.These joints often allow only slight movement, as occurs between carpal bones.
|
|
angular movements |
In angular movements, one part of a linear structure, such as the trunk or a limb, bends relative to another part of the structure, thereby changing the angle between the two parts.Angular movements also involve the movement of a solid rod, such as a limb, that is attached at one end to the body so that the angle at which it meets the body changes. The most common angular movements are flexion and extension and abduction and adduction. |
|
flexion |
is a bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint to bring the articulating bones closer together
|
|
extension |
is a straightening movement that increases the angle of the joint to extend the articulating bones. These bending and extending movements can easily be seen at the elbow and knee joints
|
|
hyperextension |
is usually defined as extension of a joint beyond 180 degrees (figure 8.9c,d). Hyperextension can be Page 251a normal movement, such as looking up at the stars, but it can also result in injury. For example, when a person attempts to break a fall by putting out a hand, the force of the fall can result in hyperextension of the wrist, resulting in a sprained joint or broken bone.

a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction (figure 8.14). It occurs at freely movable joints, such as the shoulder. In circumduction, the arm moves in an arc so that it traces a cone, with the shoulder joint at the apex of the cone, as occurs when pitching a baseball.
|
|
