Q

What are the 4 steps of bone repair are broken into in depth?

A
  1. Hematoma (blood clot) formation: A mass of clotted blood forms at fracture site. Bone cells begin to die. Tissue becomes swollen, painful, and inflamed
  2. Firocartilaginous callus formation: Capallaries grow into the area and macrophages clean up debris. Fibroblasts and osteoblasts migrate to the area from periosteum. The fibroblasts become chondrocytes which make cartilage n some areas of fracture. Osteoblasts begin forming spongy bone in other areas of fracture. The repair tissue now consists of both cartilage and spongy boine and is called the fibrocartliginous callus.
  3. Bone callus formation: Osteoblasts remove the cartilage from fracture site and convert the fibrocartilage callus to a hard bone callus entirely of spongy bone. This begins 3-4 weeks per injury and continues until a firm union forms 2-3 months later.
  4. Remodeling: remodeling occurs during bony callus formation and continues for several months after the bony callus has formed. (remodeling can take years to finish completely) Excess material outside the shaft is removed. Osteoclasts remove excess bone and any spongy bone that needs to be replaced with compact bone. Osteoblasts lay down compact bone to reconstruct the shaft. The final structure resembles unbroken bone, although sometimes there is a slight swelling at location of original fracture.

Q

How do infant bone fractures heal?

Q

What are the 4 steps of infant bone fractures?

A
  1. clot forms at fracture
  2. the fibrocartliginous callus forms at the fracture site

synovial membrane

80

areolar loose connective tissue proper

81
Q

It is the layer of fibroblasts and macrophages within the synovial membrane which does what that fills the capsule creating by the synovial membrane lining?

secretes the fluid

82
Q

Synovial fluid in the synovial capsule contains: (3)

proteins, lipids, and hyaluronan polysaccharides

83
Q

The _____ especially makes the fluid viscous and slimy allowing it to serve as lubricant for the articulating bones?

A

hyaluronan

84
Q

What do bones “crackle”?

A

crackling joints results from pulling the bones apart and creating (not popping) a bubble of gas in the extra space just created

85
Q

The synovial fluid in the capsule around joints has two main roles:

A
  1. It lubricates the joints where the cartilage-covered bones slide over one another.
  2. It provides nutrients for the articular & fibrous cartilage that cover the bones the slide over one another.
86
Q

The synovial capsule of the knee also contains several ?

A

bursae

87
Q

What is a self-contained fluid-filled sac surrounded by synovial membranes surrounded by harder tissues (bone or muscle); sometimes within a larger synovial capsule, sometimes outside?

A

Bursa

88
Q

What do bursae sacs do?
