Osteoblasts

Lay down osteoid

Osteocytes

Mature osteoblasts

Osteoclasts

Remodel bone so new bone can be laid donw - Howship's lacunae

Howship's lacunae

Microscopic bone concavities due to bone resportion

Osteoid

Non-mineralized matrix

Matrix consists of

Collagen, glycoproteins, mineral (calcium hydroxyapatite)

Achondroplasia

Defect of endochondral ossification - causes dwarfism - long bone growth retarded (normal trunk)

Achondroplasia genetics

Autosomal dominant

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Defective bone formation - mutations in gene encoding collagen I (principal component of osteoid)

Osteogenesis imperfecta age of presentation

Depends upon extent of gene defects (early as birth, can be later than puberty)

Osteogenesis imperfecta other defects

Blue sclerae (whites of eyes), thick skin, thin dental enamel

Osteomyelitis

Bacterial infection of bone

Osteomyelitis presentation

Acute infection which may progress to chronic

Sequestra

Nectrotic (devitalized) bone cut off from blood supply

Involucrum

Reactive bone formed to wall off infection

Osteoporosis

Bone normal but thinned out - absolute reduction of total bone mass

Osteoporosis causes

Primary - disease of eldery, or secondary - hormonal problems, dietary etc.

Osteoporosis hormonal causes

Increased thyroid, increased cortisol, decreased estrogen

Type 1 osteoporosis

Postmenopause - trabecular (spongy) bone (vertebrae, wrist)

Type 2 osteoporosis

Old age - cortical (compact) and trabecular bone of long bones

Osteomalacia

Abnormal bone - normal tissue not calcified - inadequate mineralization of organic matrix

Osteomalacia causes

Vitamin D deficiency of hypophosphatemia

Thin bones

Osteoporosis

Soft bones

Osteomalacia

Rickets

Osteomalacia in young people

Tetany caused by

Osteomalacia - muscle spasms

Rachitic rosary is a symptom of

Osteomalacia in children

Simple fracture

One fracture line; bone not exposed to environment

Compound fracture

One fracture line; bone exposed to environment

Comminuted fracture

Several fragments

Complete fracture

Cortex to cortex

Incomplete fracture

Part way through bone

Greenstick

Incomplete fracture

Closed fracture

Skin is not broken

Callus

Any stage of fracture healing

Fracture healing process

See slide 18

Debridement

Removal of necrotic tissue - fracture treatment

Pseudoarthrosis

False joint - fibrous non-union - body does not attempt to heal fracture

Osteosarcoma

Long bone tumor in metaphysis

Osteosarcoma sex

M:F 2:1

10-25

Osteoarthritis

Wear and tear of articular cartilage

Osteoarthritis denuded bone (eburnation)

Polished bone

Osteoarthritis Heberden's nodes

Osteophytes (bony spicules)

Osteoarthritis crepitus

Grating on movement

Osteoarthritis ulnar drift

Not seen

Rheumatoid arthritis

Systemic autoimmune disease affecting synovial joints - chronic symmetric inflammation

Rheumatoid arthritis etiology

Unknown

Rheumatoid arthritis synovitis

Exudation of fluid and inflammatory cells into joint

Rheumatoid arthritis pathological changes are due to

Pannus - granulation tissue from ingrowth of vessels and synovial cells - secretes lytic enzymes and inflammatory mediators to destroy cells

Rheumatoid arthritis ankylosis

Intra-articular space obliterated (immobilized joint)

Rheumatoid arthritis onset

Insidious - systemic symtoms

Rheumatoid arthritis contractures

Shortening of joint tissue - causes ulnar drift
