Study Notes

Ossification

  • There are two ways of ossification: intramembranous and endochondral ossification
  • Intramembranous ossification is a direct bone formation without a cartilage step, seen mainly in bone growth in width (appositional bone growth)
  • It includes the cranial vault, facial bones, clavicles, and cortical bone

Intramembranous Ossification

  • Occurs when bone needs to grow in width
  • Involves the formation of cortical bone

Endochondral Ossification

  • Starts with a hyaline cartilage bone model
  • Chondrocytes become hypertrophic and die, creating space for blood vessels to develop
  • Stem cells for osteoblasts and osteoclasts are formed, leading to the primary ossification center
  • Osteoclasts remove cartilage, replaced by true bone via osteoblasts
  • Creates the medullary cavity and secondary ossification centers
  • Found in axial and appendicular skeleton, responsible for longitudinal bone growth

Regulation of Longitudinal Growth

  • Regulated in two ways: paracrine regulation and systemic regulation
  • Will be discussed later

Endochondral Bone Formation

  • Found in joint cartilage and fracture healing
  • Responsible for longitudinal bone growth

Differences between Articular and Growth Plate Cartilage

Articular Cartilage

  • Found at the distal ends of bones
  • Responsible for joint formation and motility, weight bearing, and resistant to resorption
  • Diseases: osteoarthritis (arthrosis)

Growth Plate Cartilage

  • Entrapped between epiphyseal and metaphyseal bone
  • Responsible for longitudinal bone growth
  • Disappears at the end of puberty
  • Diseases: growth disorders

Non-neoplastic Pathology of Bone

Bone Fracture

  • Loss of bone integrity due to mechanical injury and/or diminished bone strength
  • Types: normal fracture (due to acute trauma), stress or fatigue fracture (due to repetitive mechanical stress), and pathological fracture (in weakened bone due to pre-existing lesion/tumor)

Fracture Healing

  • Involves the formation of a callus, a hard mass of skeletal repair tissue that unites the fractured bone ends
  • Stages: inflammatory stage, formation of granulation tissue, formation of soft callus, and remodeling to form lamellar bone

Myositis Ossificans

  • Formation of bone within muscle
  • Can occur after hemorrhage or tissue injury, due to metaplasia (formation of tissue where normally not seen)
  • Result of reprogramming of stem cells, similar to fracture healing with proliferation of fibroblasts, infiltration of immune cells, and zonal architecture
