Bone Healing and Bone Grafting Flashcards
What are 2 sources of long bone blood supply seen in immature animals?
- Epiphyseal arteries
- Metaphyseal arteries
What are 3 sources of long bone blood supply in mature animals?
- Principle nutrient artery
- Metaphyseal arteries
- Periosteal arteries
What is a source of long bone blood supply seen with fractured bones?
Development of extraosseous blood supply.
What are 2 types of bone healing?
- Indirect healing
- Direct healing
What are 3 steps seen in indirect healing (healing by intermediate callus formation)?
- Inflammation
- Repair
- Remodeling
Healing by intermediate callus formation is known as what?
Indirect healing
Primary osteonal reconstruction is known as what?
Direct healing
What are 2 kinds of direct healing?
- Contact healing
- Gap healing
What type of bone healing occurs with unstable mechanical environment and motion between fracture fragments?
Indirect bone healing
Indirect bone healing can be seen when the gap between the fracture fragments are what distance apart?
> 1mm
You will see what type of bone healing with impaired blood supply or impaired revascularization?
Indirect bone healing
Transient extraosseous blood supply develops with what type of bone healing?
Indirect bone healing
When does the inflammatory stage of indirect bone healing begin?
Immediately after the fracture.
How long does the inflammatory stage of indirect bone healing last?
3-4 days
What develops at the site of fracture?
Clot
Release of osteoinductive growth factors at the fracture site can cause what 2 things to happen?
- Stimulates angiogenesis
- Bone formation
Abundant mast cells at the site of fracture can cause what?
Vasoactive substances leading to new vessel formation.
Extraosseous blood supply to the site of fracture occurs when?
Within hours.
During which stage of indirect bone healing does the clot change into granulation tissue by action of mononuclear cells and fibroblasts?
Repair stage
During the indirect bone healing repair stage, slight gain in mechanical strength is achieved with the formation of what?
Formation of a soft callus.
During the indirect bone healing repair stage, mesenchymal cells become what which form what?
- Osteoblasts
- A medullary and external callus (fibrocartilage).
Resorption and mineralization of the fibrocartilage in the repair stage of indirect bone healing forms what?
A hard callus.
Bony union is achieved during what stage of indirect bone healing?
Repair stage
How long does the repair stage of indirect bone healing last?
Approximately 2 months
How long can the remodeling stage of indirect bone healing last in humans?
6-9 years
70% of total healing time seen with indirect bone healing takes place during what stage?
Remodeling stage
Which stage of indirect bone healing functions to provide optimal function and strength?
Remodeling stage
The balance of osteoclast resorption and osteoblast deposition takes place during what stage of indirect bone healing?
Remodeling stage
The remodeling stage of indirect bone healing is governed by what?
What are 2 aspects of this?
- Wolfe’s Law
- Compression (osteoblasts) and Tension (osteoclasts)
Which type of bone healing refers to direct filling of fracture site with bone without callus formation?
Direct Bone Healing
Direct bone healing occurs by what?
Direct osteonal proliferation
Which type of bone healing requires precise reduction and rigid fixation that minimizes osteoprogenitor cells?
Direct bone healing
How long can direct bone healing take?
6-12 months for appropriate mechanical strength.
Contact healing of direct bone healing will be seen when the defect between the fracture site is what distance?
< 0.01mm
What type of healing will be seen with an interfragmentary strain < 2%?
Contact healing
Contact healing results in lamellar bone oriented in what direction?
Normal axial direction.
Bony union and remodeling occur simultaneously with what type of healing?
Contact healing
What type of bone healing is initiated by cutting cones of osteoclast directly followed by osteoblasts?
Direct bone contact healing
How far do cones of osteoclasts travel in a day?
50-100 micrometers/day
How big is a fracture gap?
< 1mm
How big is an interfragmentary strain?
<2
With direct bone gap healing, are bony union and remodeling separate steps or the same step?
Separate steps
Osteoblasts deposit what in the fracture gap in what orientation?
Laminar bones in fracture gap perpendicular to long axis.
