LIMITS OF FRACTURE GAPS
THOSE APPROACHING THE DIAMETER OF THE BONE SHOULD BE AVOIDED
STRAIN
DECREASE IN GAP WIDTH/TOTAL WIDTH
STRAIN IS GREATER IN SMALLER FRACTURE GAPS
ES: 1 MM FG, 1 MM MOTION=100% STRAIN
GRANULATION TISSUE CAN SUPPORT UP TO 100% STRAIN
STRESS PROTECTION
LIMITING STRAIN TO 1-2% SHOULD BE AVOIDED BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MECHANICAL SIGN TO CELLS OF THE CALLUS
BIOLOGIC FACTORS OF BONE HEALING
TISSUE GROWTH FACTORS + CELLS (MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL)
DELAYED UNION, DEFINITION
PROLONGATION IN TIME FOR FRACTURE HEALING
MECHANICAL CAUSES OF DELAYED UNION
- EXCESSIVE FRACTURE GAPS
- MOTION AT THE FRACTURE SITE
BIOLOGIC CAUSES OF DELAYED UNION
- INTRINSIC (FACTOR OF PATIENT AND FRACTURE, MOST COMMON)
- EXTRINSIC
- BOTH
AVOID DELAYED UNION
- PREEMPTIVE AUTOGENOUS CANCELLOUS BONE, BONO MORPHOGENETIC PROTEINS, DEMINERALIZED BONE MATRIX
- AVOID LARGE FRACTURE GAPS
NONUNION
- VIABLE NONUNIONS (HORSE’S FOOT)
- NONVIABLE UNIONS (BIOLOGICALLY INACTIVE)
MALUNION
- HEALING HAS OCCURRED
- FAILURE OF MECHANICAL REESTABLISHMENT OF THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE FRACTURE
HOW TO DEFINE A DEFORMITY
IN RELATIONSHIP OF THE DISTAL SEGMENT TO THE PROXIMAL SEGMENT
MECHANICAL AXE BONE
LINE CONNECTING CENTER POINTS PROXIMAL AND DISTAL TO THE BONE IN FRONTAL OR SAGGITAL PLANE
ANATOMIC AXE
FOLLOWS GEOMETRY OF THE BONE: LINE THAT PASSES TROUGH THE CENTER OR MID DIAPHISIS
JOINT ORIENTATION ANGLE
- FIRS LETTER: M or A, MECHANICAL OR ANATOMIC AXIS
- SECON LETTER: CR or CD (angle on saggital images) ; M or L (angle on frontal planes)
- THIRD LETTER: P or D: proximal or distal
- FOURTH LETTER: letter for the bone
LABRADORS MEAN RADIUS ANGLE
- FRONTAL
