4. Clinical bone morphology Flashcards
Two types of bone formation
- Intramembranous
- Endochondrial(Cartilage precursor)
Bone definition
- Specialised connective tissue
- Mineralised organic matrix, collagenous and non collagenous proteins
- Main component hydroxyapatite
Bone cells
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
- Primary bone forming cells
- Synthesise extracellular matrix components and their mineralisation
- Differentiate into bone lining cells:osteocytes
Osteoclasts
Bone remodelling and repair
Change in the bone structure
Modelling
Change in mineralised bone without change in structure
Remodelling
Importance of remodelling
- Enables substitution of primary woven bone with lamellar bone
- Important when new bone is formed and old bone replaced with new
Bone remodelling cycle
- Preosteoclasts recruited to site of resorption
- Differentiate into active osteoclasts and form resorption pits
- Replaced w/ transient mononuclear cells following resoption period
- Preosteoblasts recruited and differentiate into matrix secreting cells and form bone
- Some osteoblasts entrapped in matrix become osteocytes
Factors that can affect bone formation and healing
- Osteoporosis
- Diabetes Mellitus
Osteoporosis
- Systemic skeletal disease-> Low bone mass and weakening of structure
- Reduced mineral content, altered non-collagenous proteins
- Increased fracture rate and fragility
Diabetes Mellitus
- Systemic disease characterised by high sugar levels over prolonged period of time
- Types I-III
Type I diabetes
- Damage to beta cells in pancreas
- Insufficient insulin production
Type II diabetes
- Resistance to insulin
- Failure to produce additional insulin to compensate
Type III diabetes
- Gestational-> Preganant women develop high blood sugar levels
- Altered endochondrial bone growth and remodelling
Healing of injured tissue that leads to the formation of tissue that differs in morphology or function to the original
Repair
Healing that leads to the complete restoration of morphology and function
Regeneration
Factors that interfere with bone healing
- Failure of vessels to proliferate into wound
- Improper stabalisation of the coagulum and granulation tissue in defect
- Ingrowth of non osseous tissue
- Bacterial contamination
4 phases of healing of a wound
- Blood clot
- Wound cleansing
- Tissue formation
- Tissue modelling and remodelling
Classifications of bone by
- Misch
- Lekholm and Zarb
Misch bone classification
- D1- Dense cortical bone
- D2-Homogenous, dense cortical bone on crest and trabecular bone within
- D3- Thin cortical bone on crest and fine trabecular bone within
- D4- Fine trabecular bone
Lekholm and Zarb classification
- Type I: Homogenous cortical bone
- Type II: Thick cortical bone with marrow cavity
- Type III: Thin cortical bone with dense trabecular bone
- Type IV: Very thin cortical bone with low density trabecular bone
