Long bone lengthening

40
Q

What is the epiphyseal plate?

A
  • Zone of elongation in long bone

  • Epiphyseal side – hyaline cartilage active and dividing to form hyaline cartilage matrix
  • Diaphyseal side – Cartilage calcifies and dies and then replaced by bone
41
Q

What is appositional growth?

A

deposition of bone beneath the periosteum to increase thickness

42
Q

Describe the process of appositional growth

A
  1. Ridges in periosteum create groove for periosteal blood vessel
  2. Periosteal ridges fuse, forming an endosteum-lined tunnel
  3. Osteoblasts in endosteum build new concentric lamellae inward toward center of tunnel, forming a new osteon
  4. Bone grows outwards as osteoblasts in periosteum build new circumferential lamellae. Osteon formation repeats as new periosteal ridges fold over blood vessel
43
Q

What does vitamin D do?

A

Help absorb calcium D

44
Q

What can happen in cancer?

A

Too much osteoclast activity so blood calcium high so depression renal stones

46
Q

What is the structure of collagen?

A

  • Three polypeptides (referred to as α chains) are wound around one another
  • Rope-like triple helix
47
Q

Where is type 1 collagen?

A

Dermis, tendon, ligaments, and bone

48
Q

Where is type 2 collagen?

A

Q

What is a synovial joint?

A

Most common type of joint

Most mobile type of joint

68
Q

What is in a synovial joint capsule?

A

  • Synovial membrane (Inner) - contains synovial fluid
69
Q

What does synovial fluid do?

A

Reduces friction during movement

70
Q

How are ligaments and joint stability related?

A
  • Ligaments Prevent excessive movement that could damage joint
  • More ligaments and tighter ligaments -> greater stability BUT less mobility
  • Less ligaments and laxer ligaments -> greater mobility BUT less stability
71
Q

What happens if there is poor stability?

A

Risk of dislocation

Disproportionate, inappropriate or repeated stress to ligaments -> injury (athletes are at risk of this)

72
Q

What happens if there is excessive ligament laxity?

A

Hypermobility -> greater risk of injury

Muscular tone – eg. Rotator cuff

73
Q

What are factors affecting joint stability?

A
  • Joint shape e.g. hip vs shoulder
  • Ligaments
  • Tendons
  • Cartilage (e.g. glenoid labrum)
74
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with joint articulation?

A

Shoulder: mismatch shallow socket
Hip: complete fit deep socket

75
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with joint capsule?

A

Shoulder: weak
Hip: strong

76
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with ligaments?

A

Shoulder: lacks strong ligaments
Hip: strong network of ligaments

77
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with muscles?

A

Shoulder: rotator cuff dependent
Hip: supported by muscles

78
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with suability?

A

Shoulder: unstable
Hip: stable

79
Q

What is the difference between the shoulder and hip stability with joint mobility?

A

Shoulder: extremely mobile
