Study Notes
- Fracture healing presentation by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abdelhamid, Professor of Orthopedics and Traumatology
Inflammation
- Inflammation is a local vascular and cellular reaction of living tissue against an injurious agent, or irritant
Components of inflammatory process
- White blood cells, or leukocytes
- Plasma proteins
Triggers of Inflammation
- Chemical mediators produced by damaged host cells at site of inflammation
Types of Inflammation
- Acute
- Chronic
Causes of Inflammation
- Infections from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
- Trauma
- Physical agents like cold and heat, irradiation, electricity
- Chemical agents like acids and alkalies
- Foreign bodies like sutures
- Hypersensitivity reactions against environmental substances or self-antigens
- Necrotic Tissues
Acute Inflammation Major Reactions
- Local vascular reaction
- Transient vasoconstriction, lasting only seconds
- Vasodilation of arterioles and capillaries
- Increased vascular, or capillary permeability
- Slowing of the blood stream, or stasis
Inflammatory Fluid Exudate Mechanism
- Arteriolar vasodilation and increased blood flow volume
- Increased vascular permeability allows protein-rich fluid and cells (exudate) from capillaries into interstitial tissues
- Increased osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid leads to further exudation of inflammatory fluid exudate
Local Cellular Reaction
- Leukocytic emigration
Leukocytic Emigration Sequence of Events
- Margination of leukocytes
- Firm adhesion of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium
- Leukocytic emigration through the inter-endothelial cell gaps
- Chemotaxis
- Phagocytosis
Bone Healing Stages
- Hematoma: forms and provides a source of hematopoietic cells capable of secreting growth factors
- Inflammation: Macrophages, neutrophils, and platelets release several cytokines, they may be detected as early as 24 hours post-injury
- Demolition: Inflammatory cells invade the haematoma and initiate lysosomal degradation of necrotic tissue
- Granulation tissue formation: BMPs, fibroblasts and mesenchymal cells migrate to fracture site, and granulation tissue forms around fracture ends
- Pluripotential mesenchymal stem cells invade the area within 4–5 days, they differentiate into fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts, with osteoblasts and fibroblasts proliferating.
- Runx-2/osterix are critical for differentiation of osteoblastic cells
- Callus Formation which takes 4-6 weeks
- Soft callus
- Hard callus
- Remodeling: the final stage that can take months or years depending on age
Factors Affecting Bone Healing - Mechanical
- Stability: unstable fracture interrupts granulation tissue
- Gap: between fracture ends and soft tissue entrapment
- Compression: resolves both stability and gap
Factors Affecting Bone Healing - Biological
- Nutritional deficits, smoking, and being diabetic
- Parathyroid hormones stimulate osteoblast differentiation and proliferation
- Aging: decreases muscle stem cell quantity, negatively affecting healing
- Infection of the fracture site
- Blood Supply: Open, comminuted fracture, and the extent of soft tissue injury
Complications of Fracture Healing
- Infection: the most common complication
- Non-union: no healing progression within six months, either trophic or hypertrophic
- Mal-union: healing occurs but with deformity
- Delayed union: persistence of the fracture line and scarce or absent callus formation on x-ray with a slower healing rate
Duties of Physician
- Understand the fracture
- Achieve conditions of healing
- Consider factors affecting healing
- Avoid complications
Duties of Physiotherapist
- Understand the fracture
- Consider factors affecting fracture healing
- Avoid complications
- Restore function of the part fractured, the limb of the part fractured, surrounding joints and muscles, and the patient
