What are the two types of bone tissue?
Trabecular (spongy) and cortical (compact)
Where is trabecular bone found and what is its porosity?
At the end of long bones, 75-95%
Where is cortical bone found and what is its porosity?
Outer shell of long bones, 5-10% (very dense)
What does red bone marrow produces and where is it?
RBC
In children in most bones
In adults in flat bones, vertebrae, and long bones
What does yellow bone marrow do and where is it found?
Stores fat, only found in adults in their long bones
What is the function of bones OTHER THAN mechanical?
Mineral storage (calcium and phosphate), blood cell production, fat storage, hormone regulation
What does physical training do to bones?
Increases mass, strength (site specific), driven by dynamic loading
When is peak bone strength and density reached?
Between ages of 25 and 30
What do osteoclasts do?
Remove bone
What do osteoblasts do?
Produce bone
How does the stress strain curve look for bones?
There is not much room for movement before a break
What is a traumatic fracture?
Closed or open fracture of bone
What is a pathological fracture?
Underlying issue (ex: osteoporosis and cancer)
What is a stress fracture?
A fatigue fracture
What is a bone contusion?
Acute traumatic bone injury without fracture (ex: contact sports, bone bruise)
What is osteitis?
Inflammation of bone
What is periostitis?
Inflammation of periosteum
What is an osteochondral injury?
Articular cartilage and underlying bone injury
What do fracture patterns indicate?
Cause and mechanism of injruy
What imaging is used for bone injuries?
X-ray, CT scan, MRI
What are the parts of a physical examination for a bone injury?
Inspection, palpation, ROM testing, neurovascular assessment
What is conservative treatment for a bone injury?
Splinting or bracing, casting, bandages and orthoses
When is surgery used to treat fractures?
When conservative treatment fails, or fracture is highly displaced or unstable
What are some characteristics of woven bone?
It is quickly formed, but poorly organized
It is the first bone formed during the healing process
