T or F bones provide some shock absorption
true
T of F osteoporosis is not protective against OA development
false it is
the phyis
plate of proliferating cartilage during growth
Osteochondrosis
physis inflamed due to overuse/ biomechs
How is cartilage healing in synovial joints
limited not much blood
in adults defects larger than 2mm heal?
rarely
can any defects heal by local proliferation of chondros
very small ones
if defect extends to bone what happens?
inflammatory repair can occur (secondary healing)
Secondary healing
healing by formation of scar tissue
primary healing
local proliferation of chondros
Acute chondrol injuries in synovial joints
an acute mechanical disruption of articular cartilage
