Q

what is the process of bleeding, degeneration & disruption? (timeline)

A

immediately following injury. proteases are released by myofiber degeneration.

Q

what do proteases get released by/do?

A

released by myofiber degeneration. do auto-digestion of damaged tissue; chemotaxis of neutrophils and macrophages to the area.

Q

what does vessel injury cause?

A

it exposes clotting factors and platelets to collagen; activation of complement and kinin, plasmin generation and stimulates platelet degranulation

Q

proliferation process?

A

hours-wks. prolif of surrounding fibroblasts, migration into wound. produce collagen matrix. phagocytes digest. granulation tissue with neovascularization. myofibroblasts contract.

Q

granulation tissue modification

A

vascular budding & recanalization restores vasc connections in 3-4 days. granulation tissue bridges gaps days 7-10. spread of area of inflammation and edema into surrounding normal tissue 21 days. 6 weeks back to normal.

21
Q

bleeding timeline?

A

seconds-minutes

22
Q

clot formation process?

A

minutes-hours. w hematoma formation

23
Q

inflammatory stage process? inhibitors?

A

hours-days. prostaglandin infiltration. fibroblasts lay down stroma. granulation tissue formation. altered by prostaglandin inhibitors, cytotoxic meds.

24
Q

process of infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibroblasts? where?

A

prostaglandin mediated. inflammatory cells = macrophages, monocytes, lymphocytes, PMNs. also fibroblasts. proliferation is under periosteum and in breached medullary canal

25
Q

fibroblasts do what? inhibited by what?

A

lay down stroma to support vasc growth. inhibited by nicotine.

26
Q

granulation tissue formation includes?

A

tissue formation + vascular ingrowth and mesenchymal cell migration

27
Q

repair stage of bone takes how long?

A

1-2 weeks to 3+ mo

28
Q

steps of repair?

A
  1. osteoclasts and osteoblasts invade blood clot
  2. collagen matrix forms, osteoid forms soft callus
  3. hard callus formation
  4. consolidation
  5. bony gaps bridged 6-12 mo
29
Q

how do osteoclasts and osteoblasts invade blood clot?

A

osteoclasts burrow thru debris at fracture line. osteoblasts fill remaining spaces.

30
Q

how does soft callus form?

A

ostoid (unmineralized, organic portion of bone matrix) is secreted. 2-6 weeks.

31
Q

how is hard callus formed?

A

4 to 12+ weeks, mineralization of matrix

32
Q

upper vs lower extremity union?

A

4-6 weeks union for upper extremity. 8-12 weeks for lower.

33
Q

consolidation process?

A

callus maturation. 12-26 weeks. woven bone becomes laminar bone.

34
Q

remodeling stage process?

A

1-2 years. thicker lamellae re: stress. reabsorption of under loaded areas. medullary reformation.

35
Q

which deformities remodel better?

A

angular better than rotational

36
Q

what are some variables in bone healing?

A
  1. bone type (cancellous > cortical)
  2. fracture type (spiral > transverse)
  3. blood supply (good > poor)
  4. age (young > old)
  5. general health
37
Q

how does hyaline cartilage heal?

A

heals with fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue (has inferior weight bearing properties)

38
Q

apophysitis due to?

A

overuse/repetitive stress of growth plate. irritation, rarely causes avulsion.

39
Q

common location and what they are? treatment?

A

patellar, calcaneous, hip, elbow. treatment = relative rest.

40
Q

osgood schlatter?

A

patellar tendon insertion on tibial tubercle

41
Q

sever’s?

A

achilles insertion on calcaneous

42
Q

sinding-larsen-johansson

A

patellar tendon origin on inferior patellar pole

43
Q

ASIS?

A

sartorius

44
Q

AIIS?

A

rectus femoris

45
Q

little leaguer’s elbow?

A

medial epicondyle

46
Q

ankle sprain etiology?

A

forced ankle inversion

47
Q

ankle sprain exam?

A

anterior drawer test, squeeze test, external rotation test += suspicious for high ankle sprain

48
Q

squeeze test results?

A

pain at ankle –> high ankle sprain. pain at knee –> maisonneuve fracture

49
Q

loose bodies etiology? treatment?

A

usually traumatic, occasionally metaplastic. surgical or observation

50
Q

loose bodies stx?

A

swelling & locking, or asymptomatic

51
Q

UCL sprain

A

throwing athletes. valgus stress in 20 degrees of flexion causes pain and potentially increased laxity (if higher grade injury)
