Study Notes
Indirect Bone Healing
- Occurs through the formation of cartilage as an intermediate stage.
- Proceeds in four stages: Hematoma formation, Soft callus formation, Hard callus formation, and Remodeling.
Direct Bone Healing
- Occurs after surgical intervention.
- May be associated with hardware failure.
Fracture
- Refers to a broken bone.
- Can be described clinically based on:
- Symptoms and signs of fracture.
- Skin integrity.
- Compartment status of the forearm.
- Nerve function (Ulnar, Median, and Radial).
- Vascular status (color, temperature, capillary refill, and pulse).
Fracture Management
- Surgery is recommended within 48 hours.
- Early ambulation is encouraged.
- DVT prophylaxis should be initiated.
- Evaluation for osteoporosis is required after discharge.
Capillary Fill
- Arterioles transition into capillaries, which then transition into venioles.
- The thin vessel walls at this point facilitate oxygen and material exchange.
