3 types of cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Cartilage with the highest water content
Hyaline (60-80%)
Most pliable cartilage
Elastic
Cartilage in acetabulum, menisci, intervertebral discs, and tendinous insertions
Fibrocartilage
Cartilage found at epipheaseak growth plates of immature bones
Hyaline
Most rigid and abundant cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
Cartilage has no nerve or vascular supply of its own… gets water and nutrients from surrounding structures
True
What are the two growth processes of cartilage
Interstitial Growth
Appositional Growth
Interstitial Growth
Miotic division within the cartilage to increase tissue mass (growth from the inside)
Appositional Growth
New layers laid down on the outside of the cartilage (growth on the outside)
With age, cartilage becomes
Hard, brittle, dehydrated, poorly nourished, thinner
2 processes of bone formation
Intramembranous Ossification
Endichondral Ossification
Intramembranous Ossification takes place in what tissue and affects what bones?
Mesenchyne tissue and affects skull, carpals, tarsals and clavicle
Endochondral Ossification. What is it and where does it happen
It is cartilage replaced by bone and it takes place in long bones
Most common type of salter Harris fx (type and where it is)
Type 2
Through growth plate and metaphysis
Slater Harris fractures
1: through growth plate
2: growth plate and metaphysis
3: growth plate and epiphysis
4: through all 3
5: compression of growth plate
Rickets results from a ______ deficiency
Scurvy results from a ______ deficiency
Rickets - vitamin D deficiency
Scurvy - vitamin C deficiency

By age 10, the bone mass is at
By age 20…
50%
… additional 40% by age 20
3 common injuries to specifically look out for in children:
Greenstick Fxs
Apophyseal Avulsions (tendon from muscle)
Epiphyseal Injuries
Knee Alignment from infant to young adult to old
Varum to Valgum to straight to varum
