Flashcards
Bone Failure Modes
Bone Failure Modes
Bones can fail due to manufacturing errors (developmental issues), sudden trauma (accidents or infections), or wear-and-tear (like arthritis).
Diaphysis Function
Diaphysis Function
The diaphysis (shaft of a long bone) acts like a lever, increasing muscle power for movement at joints.
Metaphysis/Epiphysis Structure
Metaphysis/Epiphysis Structure
The metaphysis and epiphysis (ends of a long bone) have a reduced need for bending strength and thus use thinner cortices and spongy bone.

Study Notes
Modes of Failure
- Manufacturing errors: Disorders of formation and growth, impacting primarily pediatric patients.
- Constant random failures: Primarily due to trauma, infection, cancer, or other acute diseases.
- Wearout failures: Progressive wear of parts, leading to conditions like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Bone Structure
- Diaphysis: Acts as a lever for increased muscle power; characterized by thick cortices.
- Metaphysis and Epiphysis: Have reduced bending force, resulting in thinner cortices and spongy trabecular bone; support articular surfaces, absorb impact, and distribute weight evenly.
