Study Notes
Types of Bone
- Spongy bone is also called trabecular, cancellous or spongy bone and has low density and high porosity.
- Woven bone is immature and has fewer collagen fibres, and is evident as a fibrous matrix.
- Woven bone is evident in foetal bone and adult bone fractures.
- Woven bone will later be replaced by lamellar bone in foetal tissues.
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts are bone forming cells that secrete bone matrix proteins, including type I collagen and non-collagenous proteins.
- Osteoclasts are bone resorbing cells that remove damaged and necrosed tissues at the site of injury.
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells that coordinate bone remodelling processes by acting as mechano-sensors.
Osteoblast Regulation of Osteoclast Formation
- Osteoblasts express RANKL which binds to RANK on osteoclast precursor surfaces.
- Osteoblasts produce osteoprotegerin (OPG), which inhibits differentiation of osteoclasts.
Types of Bone Fracture
- Closed (simple) fractures do not pierce the skin.
- Open (compound) fractures pierce the skin.
- Greenstick fractures are small slender cracks that occur in children.
- Hairline fractures are often stress fractures.
- Complicated fractures involve damage to surrounding structures.
- Comminuted fractures refer to a shattered bone.
- Avulsion fractures occur at muscle attachments, when powerful muscle contractions wrench the tendon free.
- Compression (impacted) fractures occur when two bones are forced against each other.
Mechanisms for Bone Healing
- Primary (direct) bone healing involves accurate reduction and rigid internal fixation.
- Secondary (indirect) bone healing involves the formation of a callus.
Processes of Bone Healing - Grafting
- Osteogenesis is the formation of new bone by surviving cells within the graft.
- Osteoconduction involves new bone generation from existing cells in the graft.
- Osteoinduction is the transformation of local undifferentiated cells into bone forming cells.
Factors Affecting Bone Healing
- Injury variables include the severity of the injury, location of the fracture and tissue interposition.
- Patient variables include age, nutrition, systemic hormones and infection.
- Treatment variables include decreasing the fracture gap, stabilizing the fracture and restoring fracture segments.
Application of BMPs
- BMPs are used in orthopaedics, oral and maxillofacial and dental settings.
Primary vs. Secondary Bone Healing
- Primary bone healing involves no movement and is present with absolute stability.
- Secondary bone healing involves movement and is present with relative stability.
