Epiphyseal plate
Growth plate
Apophyseal plate
Growth plate where tendons insert
Fracture where the distal segment of the bone is angled away from the body?
Towards?
Away - valgus
Inward - varus
Word for midsection of bone?
Diaphysis
Intramembranous ossification
vs
endochondral ossification
connective tissue
cartilage
Compact bone
vs

compact - Cortical bone (has the Haversian system of canals that allows for arteries, etc.)
not so compact - Trabecular bone
Woven vs Lamellar bone
woven - immature bones, healing bones
lamellar - mature
Ways to make cells that help in healing a fracture
pluripotent mesenchymal cells –> osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fibroblases
monocytes –> osteoclasts
Maturation of bone occurs in what direction?
distal to proximal
Salter-harris classification
1 - fracture through growth plate
2 - fracture through growth plate + small amount of metaphysis detatched with it
3 - part of epiphysis breaks off
4 - fracture through the epiphysis and metaphysis
5 - crushing of the growth plate
