Organic, inorganic and water components of the bone in %
35% organic
45% inorganic
25% water
What is the major inorganix component?
crystalline hydroxapatite
Organic matrix is compromised of collagen type (mention)
Type I (>90% or organic component)
Type I collagen is responsible for which proprietires of the bone?
viscoelastic properties
Mineralization confers 2 proprieties
strength and stiffness
The collagen phase contributes to
ductility and overall toughness
Harvesian systems are present in compact bone to provide what?
Vascularization to osteocytes embeddedin bone matrix
Concentric lamellae that surround a central blood vessel in Haversian canals makeup the osteons of the Haversian system in which type of bone?
compact bone
During bone formation and growth the first cells to be laid down are
Primary osteons
During postnatal growth the long bone diameter is achieved through ______ formation
periosteal formation of woven bone that provides the structure for the formation of primary osteons or circumferential lamellae
Cement lines are formed by (type of cell)
osteoblasts at the time of transition from bone resorption to formation
Biomechanical response of bone to loading is dependent on its geometry and
material composition
Define the loading characteristics
Direction, rate, magnitude, frequency, duration
Transverse cracking, where the crack must course
through longitudinally oriented osteons is thougher or lighter than longitudinal cracking?
tougher than longitudinal cracking, where the crack splits osteons along the longitudinal axis of the bone
What does it mean that bone is an anisotropic material?
Meaning its mechanical properties depend on the direction of the applied forces
because of the structure and orientation of osteons,
compact bone is strongest in _____ (axial or abaxial)
Axial compression weaker in tension and weakest in shear
fractures usually propagate along tension and shear planes. Shear planes run at approximately _____º
45º from compressive and tensile stresses
Tensile loading occurs when equal and opposite loads are
applied to distract the_________ (ends or midlle) of a bone
ends
mention the type of loading
tension
mention the type of loading
compression
mention the type of loading
bending
mention the type of loading
bending/compression
mention the type of loading
torsion
mention the type of loading
shear
Maximum tensile stress occurs on a plane _______________________(perpendicular/parallel) to the direction of applied load
perpendicular
Long bones are not well adapted to resist _____________ (uniaxial/biaxial) tensile loads which are not common during normal physiological activities
uniaxial
Define compression load
Compressive loading occurs when equal and opposite
loads are applied to push the ends of the bone closer
together.
Axial compression causes the bone to
shorten and widen
Define torsion load
Torsional loading occurs when opposite moments (rotational
forces) are applied to the ends of a bone, such that
the bone twists around the longitudinal axis
Torsional loading induces shear stresses in planes:
a) parallel
b) perpendicular
c) parallel and perpendicular
c) parallel and perpendicular
fracture becomes complete when a longitudinal
fissure occurs, connecting the
proximal and distal ends of the spiral crack.
The fracture originates where
shear stress is greatest on the periphery of the bone and
then propagates due to tensile stresses distracting bone
fragments along a spiral configuration until the fracture
ends are approximately parallel or above one another
Tensile loads cause the bone to elongate and narrow. Failure occurs due to tensile forces perpendicular to a transverse
plane. Tension from the suspensory ligament and distal sesamoidean ligaments influenced the transverse configuration of the
mid-body
proximal sesamoid bone fracture shown.
Compressive loads cause the bone to shorten and widen. Failure occurs along the plane of maximum shear stress,
oriented approximately 45° from the axis of compressive loading. An incomplete dorsal cortical stress fracture of the third metacarpal
bone illustrates a fracture due predominantly to compressive loading and shear failure. Source (inset): Based on O’Brien et al. [
Define bending load
When a bending load is applied, compressive stress is
induced on the concave side and tensile stress is induced
on the convex side of the deforming bone.
Bending creates a longitudinally oriented plane, called
the neutral axis, where neither compressive nor tensile stresses are
present
The greater the distance from the neutral axis, the ____________ the tensile or compressive stress
larger
Bending creates tensile and compressive loads on different sides of the bone. Failure occurs first on the side under tension resulting in a transverse distraction fracture. The fracture then propagates on the side under compression in an oblique configuration, with or without a butterfly fragment, illustrated by a Salter–Harris type II fracture of the proximal tibial physis in a 10-day-old foal and a mid-diaphyseal butterfly fracture of the third metatarsal bone in a foal.
