Ch 6/7 Skeletal System pt 2 Flashcards
complete vs incomplete fracture
all the way through vs crack
linear vs transverse fracture
down the length vs across
open vs closed fracture
compound vs simple, a damaged vs undamaged outer barrier
transverse fracture
across
oblique fracture
at an angle
spiral fracture
bone twists
comminuated fracture
bone shatters
avulsion fracture
breaking of condyle
impacted fracture
compressed bone
fissure
crack in bone
greenstick fracture
broken like bent stick, incomplete
bone fracture repair
1) Hematoma form - bleeding
leads to bone cell death & inflammation
2) Soft callus forms: blood vessels invade
the hematoma, cells come to clean up
debris. Osteoblasts invade, building new
bone.
3) Bony callus forms: bone trabeculae forms
(spongy bone)
4) Bone remodeling: excess material
removed from area; medullary cavity and
compact bone formed
rickets
not enough minerals in bones
in children
bowed legs, misshapen pelvis skull and ribcage are common
Ca and Vit D deficiency
osteoporosis
bones degrade more than deposited
most common in elderly
sex hormone deficient, insufficient WB exercise, smoking, low Ca intake, hormones (hypothyroidism, diabetes)
osteomyelitis
inflammation of bone and marrow
most common to long bones (pain stiffness fever)
caused by pus forming bacteria entering body via wound
