cartilage. New cartilage growth is promoted by enabling blood flow; an awl is used to make microfracture holes in the surrounding bone. The common amount of holes made during this surgery can range from 5 to 15. This is determined by the size of surgical area which should range between 1 and 2 centimeters in diameter. The amount of microfacture holes made to the bone is predicated on the treatment area size (Cluett, 2016). Various imaging techniques are available to view preoperative and…

Due to that, I was unaware where I was running and tripped over the leg of a picnic table and sprained my left ankle. My injury was a sprain, specifically a grade one sprain. My left ankle was…

pitfalls of using CHA in bone graft procedures? CHA is fragile an brittle and it should only be used temporarily 3. What is CHACC and what potentially makes it better than CHA? CHACC is Coralline Hydroxyapatite/calcium carbonate. CHACC is better than CHA because it can keep a porous structure as well s biocompatibility making it a even better player for bone grafts. There are improved biodegradation proprieties that can be suitable for bone remodeling to support natural bone healing process. …

When it comes to your inner organs, your skeletal system is there to support them and also protect them from any outside harm. For example, you have your cranium which supports your brain and your ribs support your lungs and other abdominal organs. Many people believe that…

myofibroblasts to fat cell precursors in adult mammals using differing mice lines that allow for the manipulation and exploration of fat cell regeneration throughout the wound healing process. To begin the study, it was necessary to explore the components of making the fat cells and their precursor cells during wound healing. Preliminary experiments were conducted using dermal cells from wounds with and without hair follicles. Results showed that the hair follicles were a necessary factor to…

Ligaments connect bones together and are made up of grossly parallel, fibrous, dense connective tissue.1 Many ligaments are parts of anatomically inseparable structures known as joint capsules, and this is certainly the case with the wrist. Ligaments often have a more vascular overlying layer termed the "epiligament" covering their surface. This layer is often indistinguishable from the actual ligament and merges into the periosteum of the bone around the attachment sites of the ligament.7…
