Study Notes

Islamic Invocation

  • A prayer for forgiveness and mercy from God.
  • Expresses remorse for past actions.
  • Seeks God's forgiveness and compassion.

Fracture Healing

  • Inflammation: A local vascular and cellular response to injury.
  • Components of Inflammation: White blood cells (leukocytes) and plasma proteins. Initiated by chemical mediators from damaged cells.
    • Types: Acute and Chronic.
  • Causes of Inflammation:
    • Infections (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites)
    • Trauma (physical: cold, heat, irradiation, electricity, burns, frostbite)
    • Chemical agents (acids, alkalies)
    • Foreign bodies (sutures)
    • Hypersensitivity reactions (allergies, autoimmune)
    • Necrotic tissues
  • Acute Inflammatory Reactions:
    • Transient vasoconstriction (brief, seconds)
    • Arteriole and capillary vasodilation
    • Increased capillary permeability
    • Slowing of blood flow (stasis)
  • Inflammatory exudate: A fluid leakage containing proteins and cells into the interstitial space.
    • Caused by increased vascular permeability and pressure differences.
  • Mechanism of Exudate Formation:
    • Changes in blood vessel diameter and permeability.
    • Fluid and protein escape from capillaries into tissues.
  • Local cellular reaction (Leukocytic emigration):
    • Bacteria initiates cytokine and chemokine production which causes exudate inflammation and recruitment WBCs.
    • Sequence: Margination, Firm adhesion to endothelium, migration through endothelium, Chemotaxis and Phagocytosis.
  • Bone Healing Stages:
    • Hematoma: Blood clot formation; provides growth factors and hematopoietic cells.
    • Inflammation: Macrophages, neutrophils, and platelets release cytokines. (24 hours after injury.)
    • Demolition: Inflammatory cells degrade necrotic tissue.
    • Granulation tissue formation: Formation of new tissue from BMPs, fibroblasts, and mesenchymal cells.
    • Soft callus formation: (4-6 weeks). Soft cartilage and fibrous tissue joins fractured ends.
    • Hard callus formation: (4-6 weeks). Hard bone replaces the soft callus.
    • Remodeling: Bone is reshaped and strengthened; varies in length based on age.
  • Factors affecting bone healing:
    • Mechanical: Stability, Gap, Compression
    • Biological: Nutritional deficits, smoking, diabetes, parathyroid hormones, aging, infection, blood supply.
  • Complications:
    • Infection
    • Non-union (no healing within 6 months): Trophic and Hypertrophic
    • Mal-union (healing with deformity)
    • Delayed union (slow healing)
