Q

three types of cells in bone

A

osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts

33
Q

osteoblasts

A

make bone

34
Q

osteoclasts

A

break down bone

35
Q

osteocytes

A

mature bone cells, daily function

36
Q

cortical bone

A

hard outer bone

37
Q

cancellous/trabecular bone

A

soft spongey bone

38
Q

epiphysis

A

growth plate

39
Q

wolf’s law

A

bone will adapt to stresses being placed upon it

40
Q

bone is viscoelastic meaning…

A

response depends on rate and duration of loading

41
Q

this is the best type of load for bone and results in bone formation

A

compression

42
Q

bone has good strength with this type of load when loaded parallel to the bone. it results in bone reabsorption

A

tension

43
Q

bone is weakest when loaded in this fashion and fractures easily

A

torsion/shear
*small intermittent loads do increase bone strength

44
Q

trabeculae are highest in areas where there has been _________

A

tosion/shear

45
Q

key factors for bone healing

A
  • adequate fixation
  • alignment
  • good nutrition
  • blood supply
  • oxygen
  • compression
46
Q

3 phases of bone healing (and time frames)

A

soft callus: 0-3/4 weeks
hard callus: 4-6weeks
bony union: 3-4 mths

47
Q

during what phase do you continue to immobilize most fractures

A

soft callus because it is a fragile union

48
Q

can you do normal daily activity during hard callus phase

A

yes because fracture is stabilized

49
Q

tendons and ligaments are made up of what kind of cells

A

fibrocytess

50
Q

structure of tendons and ligaments

A

collagen - 30%
elastin - 2%
ground substance - 68%

51
Q

what happens to the ground substance with loss of motion

A

loss of water

52
Q

davis’s law

A

soft tissue structures will adapt according to the stresses placed upon them
AKA: hypertrophy/atrophy are dependent upon the amount and type of activity

53
Q

T or F: fibrous connective tissue is viscoelastic

A

T

54
Q

creep

A

the lengthening that occurs when a stretch force is applied
ex. hamstring stretch

55
Q

load relaxation

A

longer load is placed the less stress felt
ex: cervical traction

56
Q

are tendons or ligaments more elastic

A

ligaments
*tendons fail at 10% length

57
Q

ligaments/tendons respond best to this kind of load

A

tension
*they don’t handle compression very well

58
Q

0 to 4-6 weeks fibrous connective tissue healing

A
  • protected ROM
  • minimal strength training
59
Q

4-6 weeks fibrous connective tissue healing

A
  • structural union occurs
  • begin resuming normal ROM
60
Q

6 weeks-3 months fibrous connective tissue healing

A

initial protected strength training

61
Q

4-8 months fibrous connective tissue healing

A

improving strength of fibers, possible resumption athletic activity

62
Q

8-12 months fibrous connective tissue healing

A

complete remodeling

63
Q

what type of cells is articular cartilage made up of

A

chondrocytes

64
Q

what does articular cartilage not heal well

A

chondrocytes are limited in number and unable to reproduce

65
Q

articular cartilage is arranged in 4 ______

A

zones

66
Q

collagen is for _______ and ground substance is for __________-

A

strength
shock absorption

67
Q

zone 1 of articular cartilage

A

large amount of collagen, parallel to surface
allows for gliding and strength

68
Q

zone 2 of articular cartilage

A
  • less collagen than zone 1
  • random fiber orientation
  • provides strength and shock attenuation
69
Q

zone 3 of articular cartilage

A
  • less collagen than zone 1 and 2
  • perpendicular orientation
  • provides shock attenuation
70
Q

zone 4 of articular cartilage

A

calcified and attached to bone

71
Q

80% of articular cartilage weight is

A

water

72
Q

T or F: articular cartilage is viscoelastic

A

T

73
Q

T or F: articular cartilage is avascular and aneural

A

T: this is why it has poor healing

74
Q

T or F: tendons are stronger than articular cartilage

A

F: articular cartilage is stronger than tendon and SC bone

75
Q

articular cartilage is very strong with _______ and _______ but weak with ________

A

compression and tension

shear

76
Q

what is articular cartilage healing affected by

A

hemarthrosis
effusion
injection
depth of lesion

77
Q

T or F: a deeper lesion in articular cartilage may heal better

A

T: b/c more blood flow

78
Q

what is the primary goal when it comes to articular cartilage healing

A

restore mobility

79
Q

platelet rich plasma

A

platelets contain protein and cytokines to help regulate wound healing
