Bone & Muscle Flashcards
What is the basic structure of bone?
What is the structural unit of compact bone vs. spongy (cancellous) bone?
compact= osteon
Spongy bone= trabeculae
What type of bone formation does not use growth plates?
intramembranous
Describe the process of intramembranous ossification?
Describe the process of endochondral ossification?
What are the different zones of the growth plate?
What are two major requirements for proper fxn of the growth plate?
- need adequate mineralized collagen/cartilage
- need adequate blood vessel quality (need angiogenesis)
Type of Bone?
woven bone
Type of Bone?
lamellar bone
What are the categories used to classify bone fractures?
Location: which bone & where
Transverse/Oblique/Spiral
Open/closed
Complete/Incomplete
Comminution (brocken into fragments)
Displacement (how has the distal end moved relative to the proximal end?)
OLD ACID
What are the four stages of fracture healing?
- hematoma
- fibrocartilagenous callus
- Bony callus
- Remodeling
What stage of fracture healing is shown?
What timeframe is this fracture in healing?
7-10d
granulation tissue and bone necrosis
What timeframe is this fracture healing?
3 weeks
fibrocartilagenous callus
What stage of fracture healing is shown?
bony callus
nearly healed fracture site
Describe the SALTER HARRIS fracture classification scheme?
DDX?
Breed?
When mostly likely to see it?
craniomandibular osteopathy
Westies & scotties
3-7 mo (stops 11-13mo)
autosomal recessive
A dog presents with excessive bone fragility that lead to a fracture. Likely DDX?
Osteogenesis imperfecta
On radiographs, there is increased bone density. Likely DDX?
Osteopetrosis
DDX?
Chondrodysplasia
Underlying reason why the bone fractured?
Osteoporosis
Which is worse? Osteoporosis or osteopenia?
Osteoporosis
osteopenia: decreased numbers of thin trabeculae
