nichols acquired bone dis Flashcards
factors in osteoporosis cause
inactivity, aging, hereditary, hormone changes
consequences of osteoporosis
distal radius kyphosis prox femur hand/foot stiffness
how does menopause affect osteoporosis
dec serum estrogen inc IL-1, IL-6, TNF increased RANK, RANKL increased osteoclast
how does aging affect osteoporosis
dec replicative ability of osteoprogenitor cells dec synthetic activity of osteoblasts dec biologic activity of matrix-bound GFs reduced physical activity
what contributes to peak bone mass
physical activity genetic factors nutrition

osteoporosis

osteoporosis on R vs normal on L

compression fracture on background of osteoporosis

bisphosphonates
Denosumab
mAb that inhibes RANK/RANKL
Odanacatib
TKI that inhibits lysosomal enzyme (cathepsin K) and inhibits osteoclasts
some other Ab strategies to inhibit osteoblasts
inhibit Dkk1 or sclerostin
PTH does what to bones?
anabolic bone substance! actually makes them stronger even though though putting Ca++ into blodo
what is a simple fracture
not displaced
complete through bone
compound fracture
displaced
one is through skin
greenstick fracture
noncomplete
usually kids
communited fracture
bone is in 2+ pieces
pathologic fracture
technically all of them …
but one which occurs in a bone with underlying dis
danger in compound fracture but not others
infection
Initially callus formation
- blood clot
- after a few days, collagen, fblasts, dead cortex w empty lacunae, neovascularization
what do you need for good healing?
VASCULARIZATION
next phase of callus
vasculate periosteum, periostial reactive woven bone
cartilage growing
osteoclasts remodeling
after months, trabec are formed, lookin good

bone is rebuilding on R, but still a callus is seen
you need the two ends to line up! signal for a callus requires this proximity.

resolving hemorrhage
fractured bony trabeulae that have lacunae EMPTY= dead bone (dark pink)
can see new osteoid (light pink) w new osteocytes
