Study Notes
Bone Healing and Complications
- Different types of bone healing: primary (direct) gap healing, primary (direct) contact healing, and secondary (indirect) bone healing
- Primary gap healing involves the formation of callus and bone remodeling
- Tissues involved in secondary (indirect) bone healing include hematoma, granulation tissue, connective tissue, fibrocartilage, cartilage, and mineralized bone
- Types of ossification: endochondral ossification, intramembranous ossification, and distraction osteogenesis
- Bone remodeling occurs along the lines of stress (Wolff’s law) and involves continuous osteoblast-osteoclast function
- Assessment of bone healing is based on orthogonal radiographs and the "4A’s of fracture assessment" (apposition, alignment, apparatus, activity)
- The assessment of bone healing requires standard orthogonal views, optimal machine settings, and optimal patient positioning
- Malunion can have long-term impacts on adjacent joints and may require corrective osteotomy/ostectomy treatment
- Delayed union can be caused by local factors, stability factors related to constructs, and systemic factors
- Treatment of delayed union involves early detection, identifying causes, addressing underlying causes, and preventing progression to non-union
- Non-union can be vascular (viable) or avascular (non-viable), with different sub-classifications based on callus volume and biologic activity
- Avascular (non-viable) non-union can be further sub-classified as dystrophic or necrotic, based on biologic activity at a cellular level
