26
Q

What do hemapoietic stem cells create?

A

Blood cells

27
Q

Define remodeling

A

The process by which the body continually replaces areas of old necrotic bone with new bone tissue

28
Q

Bone remodeling steps

A
  1. Body identifies areas of bone that need replacement
  2. Bone lining cells signal osteoclasts and recruit them
  3. Osteoclasts arrive, attach to bone, create acid environment and create a void
  4. Osteoblasts are recruited after sufficient bone removed
  5. Osteoblasts fill void with osteoid
  6. Osteoid mineralized to become new bone
  7. Some osteoblasts encased in mineralized bone and become osteocytes, others finish filling void and remain outside of the new bone as bone lining cells
29
Q

The remodeling of old necrotic bone or bone grafts

A

Creeping substitution

30
Q

Following the bone remodeling cycle, the mineral density of the region will continue to increase over the next ______ years

A

2-3

31
Q

The term creeping substitution is most commonly used when referring to the incorporation of a ______ ______ into _____ _______

A

Bone graft into living bone

32
Q

Define Wolff’s Law

A

Bone is built where stresses require it and resorbed where stresses are absent

33
Q

What are the three stages of bone repair?

A
Inflammation Phase (0-3 weeks)
Repair Phase (3 weeks to 4 months)
Remodeling Phase (4 months to 7 years)
34
Q

Difference between fracture healing and fusion

A

In fracture healing, you are taking two bone fragments that were once united and putting them back together

In a fusion, two or more separate individual bones are induced to grow together

35
Q

Bone that is removed from one place and transferred to another

A

Bone graft

36
Q

Three stages of bone graft incorporation

A

Inflammation
Repair
Remodeling

37
Q

Lifestyle factors that impact fusion

A
Poor nutrition
Tobacco
Diabetes
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Steroids
Cytotoxic Drugs
Radiation
38
Q

Bone relocated from elsewhere in the patient’s body

A

Autograft

39
Q

Bone taken from another member of the same species

A

Allograft

40
Q

Bone taken from a member of a different species

A

Xenograft

41
Q

Substitute for bone graft artificially created to mimic bone in body

A

Synthetic

42
Q

Ability to provide framework (scaffold) for new bone growth

A

Osteoconductive

43
Q

Ability to induce bone growth (satisfies chemical requirements for a fusion)

A

Osteinductive

44
Q

Ability to grow into bone (contains live bone cells) and satisfies the biologic requirements for a fusion

A

Osteogenic

45
Q

The gold standard in bone grafting

A

Autograft

46
Q

Bone marrow removed surgically from the inside of bones

A

Bone Marrow Aspirate

47
Q

Grafts designed to be implanted without any modification by the surgeon

A

Machined Grafts

48
Q

When the mineral content is removed from allograft, this material remains osteoinductive

A

Demineralized Bone Matrix

49
Q

Usually consists of a power mixed with a carrier that facilitates deliver of the demineralized bone into the surgical site

A

Demineralized Bone Matrix

50
