bone injury and repair Flashcards
most important factor in fracture repair?
blood flow
fracture repair stages?
inflammation, repair, remodeling
type of callus for bone ends NOT in continuity?
bridging (SOFT) callus
effect of immobilization?
MORE immobilization, LESS callus
indicates completion of fracture healing?
marrow space repopulation
bone growth factors?
BMP-2, BMP-3, BMP-7
effect of NICOTINE?
increases time to heal, nonunion risk; decreases callus strength
effect of NSAIDS?
COX-2 required for enchondral ossification
effect of QUINOLONES?
toxic to chondrocytes, inhibit fracture healing
effect of ULTRASOUND?
accelerates fracture healing, increases callus strength
location of highest risk for pathologic fracture?
subtrochanteric femur
graft properties: Osteoconductive Matrix
scaffold for bone growth
graft properties: Osteoinductive Factors
stimulate bone formation (e.g. BMP)
graft properties: Osteogenic Cells
primitive mesenchyme, osteoblasts, osteocytes
types of ALLOGRAFT (non-self) bone?
fresh, fresh-frozen, freeze-dried
