Fracture to the 4th and 5th metatarsal

Question 2

Colle’s Fracture

Answer 2

Fracture to the distal forearm

Question 3

Displaced Fracture

Answer 3

Complete fracture causing the bone to be in two pieces

Question 4

Comminuted Fracture

Answer 4

When lots of breaks occur in many bones

Question 5

Impacted Fracture

Answer 5

Broken bone ends are forced together by force of the injury

Question 6

Potts Fracture

Answer 6

Malleolus fracture

Question 7

Trabecular Bone

Answer 7

Spongy Bone found in epiphysis of long bones

Question 8

Cortical bone

Answer 8

Compact bone that form a protective layer around the bone

Question 9

Osteoclasts

Answer 9

Bone cell clearers, clear dead bone cells, if osteoporosis healthy bone is cleared as well

Question 10

Osteoblasts

Answer 10

Bone cell builders, form new bone cells

Question 11

Osteoprogenitor Cells

Answer 11

Stem cells of bone, form osteoblasts and osteocytes

Question 12

Osteocytes

Answer 12

Bone cells, mature osteoblasts trapped in the bone matrix and maintain bone strength and health

Question 13

Bone Healing Process

Answer 13

Haemotoma - inflammation, new capillaries, bone cells die
Fibrocartilagenous Callus - fibroblasts lay down collagen, chondroblasts produce fibrocartilage
Bony Callus - osteoblasts secrete spongy bone
Remodelling - compact bone replaces spongy, surface is remodelled

Question 14

Green stick

Answer 14

Splintering on the side of the bone

Question 15

Compression

Answer 15

Bone is crushed e.g vertebrae

Question 16

Spiral

Answer 16

Ragged break associated with twisting motion

Question 17

Depressed

Answer 17

Broken bone pressed inwards typical of skull

Question 18

Epiphyseal

Answer 18

Epiphysis separates from diaphysis

Occurs when cartilage cells are dying
