3 other classifications of bone fractures |

a break at the site of a preexisting abnormality |

stress fracture |
occurs in normal or abnormal bone that is subject to repeated stress (athlete) |
|
fatigue fracture |
caused by abnormal stress (when engage in a new or different act. that is both strenuous and repetitive (dancers, joggers)) |

occurs from neighboring soft tissues and damaged ends of bone |
|
patho - what forms and where |
clot forms within the medullar canal, between the fractured ends of the bone |
|
patho - what bone tissue dies |
bone tissue immediately adjacent to fracture |
|
patho - what response is stimulated and why |
inflammatory response from dead tissue and any debris from fractured area |
|
patho - inflammatory response characterized by |
vasodilation, exudation of plasma and leukocytes, infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes and mast cells |
|
patho - with 48 hrs after injury what invades where |
vascular tissue invades the fractured area from surrounding soft tissue and marrow of the cavity |
|
patho - osteoblasts from where do what |
osteoblasts from procallus synthesize collagen and matrix |
|
patho - synthesizing collagen and matrix does what |
mineralizes to form callus (woven bone) |
|
patho - as repair process continues what occurs causing what |
remodeling occurs causing unnecessary callus to be reabsorbed and trabecular bone laid down |
|
patho - new bone formed when |
it heals after fracture |
|
new bone is not |
scar tissue |
|
new bone appears what color |
more white than original bone |
|
5 sns of fractures |
unnatural alignment, swelling, muscle spasm, tenderness and pain, impaired sensation |
|
unnatural alignment |
deformity |
|
muscle spasm |
may account for pain later on |
|
tenderness and pain |
severe at first, caused by the trauma |
|
impaired sensation |
pinching or severing of a nerve by the trauma or fragments |
|
dislocation |
temporary displacement of two bone in which the two bone surfaces lose contact entirely |
|
subluxation |
temporary displacement of two bones where contact between the two bone surfaces is only partially lost |
|
6 usual spots for dislocation and subluxation |
shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, hip, knee |
|
dislocation and subluxation may be caused by |
congenital or acquired disorders such as RA |
|
dislocation and subluxation often associated with |
fractures |
|
patho dis/sub - what usually accompanies dis/sub because why |
fractures accompany because stress is placed on areas of bone that are not normally subject to stress |
|
patho dis/sub - as bone seperates from joint what may occur |
it may bruise or adjacent nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, supporting structures, and soft tissues |
|
dis/sub sns same as |
fracture |
|
dis/sub sns |
pain, swelling, motion limitation, joint deformity |
|
strain |
tear or rupture of tendon at any site |
|
strain usually result of |
major trauma |
|
strain usually where |
hands, feet, knees, upper arms, thighs, angles, heels (achilles) |
|
sprains |
tear or rupture of a ligament at any joint |
|
sprains most common where |
wrist, ankle, elbow, knee |
|
patho sprain/strain - what develops when tendon or ligament torn and where |
inflammatroy exudate develops between torn ends |
|
patho strain/sprain - how is repair process begun |
granulated tissue containing macrophages, fibroblasts, and capillary buds grows inward from surrounding soft tissue and cartilage |
|
patho strain/sprain - within how many days will what formation begin |
4-5 days collagen formation begins and will organize parallel to the lines of stress |
|
patho strain/sprain - as collagen is reorganized what occurs |
healing tendon or ligament separates from surrounding soft tissue |
