Q

bone scan is read by looking at

A

hot and cold spots

  • hot spots indicate metabolisms that absorb more tracers (cancer, healing fractures, abnormal bone growth)
  • cold areas indicate decreased metabolism (weak area of bone, degenerative disease, decalcified bone, Paget’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis)

35
Q

ossification or osteogenesis

A

bone formation process used during infancy, childhood and adolescence throughout life and when repairing a fracture

36
Q

intramembranous ossification

A

bones form within mesenchyme which is arranged in sheetlike membranes

37
Q

endochondral

A

bones form within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme (replacing cartilage with bone)

38
Q

bones that use intramembranous ossification to form are

A 
flat bones of skull
facial bones
mandible
medial portion of clavicle
closing fontanelles of babies
39
Q

interstitial growth

A

cells begin to separate from their neighbors in the example of chondrocytes

40
Q

hyaline cartilage is laid down by

A

chondroblast

41
Q

secondary ossification sites don’t start working in infants until

A

after birth

42
Q

in long bones, you would find hyaline cartilage

A

along epiphysial plates AND

at articular cartilage areas

43
Q

perichondrium

A

precursor to the periosteum

44
Q

vertical long bone growth stops at

45
Q

zone of resting cartilage

A

place holder cartilage
does not play an active role in bone growth
(closest to epiphysis)

46
Q

zone of proliferating cartilage

A

slightly larger chondrocytes and arranged like stacks of coins, they secrete matrix and they undergo interstitial growth

47
Q

zone of hypertrophied cartilage

A

48
Q

zone of calcified cartilage

A

a few cells thick and contains dead chondrocytes that are surrounded by calcified matrix (closest to the diaphysis)

49
Q

fractures through epiphyseal plate in childhood can result in

A

unequal bone lengths

especially in lower extremities

50
Q

appositional growth

A

making bones grow thicker

creation of new osteons making periosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts

function of thyroid hormones in bone

A

affects bone growth

70
Q

function of insulin in bone

A

helps build bone (anabolic)

71
Q

function of sex hormone in bone

A

estrogen has protective affect in bone

puberty helps to grow bone

72

open (compound) fracture

A

penetrated the skin

73

ankle fracture

76
Q

Colle’s fracture

A

wrist fracture

77
Q

comminuted fracture

A

does not break through the skin, but breaks into 3 or more pieces

78
Q

4 stages of bone fracture repair

A
  1. a hematoma forms
  2. fibrocartilaginous callus forms
  3. bony callus forms
  4. bone remodeling occurs
79
Q

ORIF

A

open reduction internal fixation (realigns and places hardware to allow bone to heal correctly)

80
Q

closed reduction

A

resetting bone without surgery

81
Q

open reduction

A

resetting bone with surgery

Q

osteogenic sarcoma

A

common in kids (lower femur or upper tibial)

83
Q

normal serum Calcium level

A

9-11 mg/dl

84
Q

high serum calcium could cause

A

cardiac arrest
