Bone Formation and
Maintenance

Types :
1. Lamellar Bone:Cortical80%,Cancellous.
2. Woven Bone:Immature,Pathologic
 Bone Matrix:
1. Organic:40% of dry weight, collagen.
2. Minerals component:60%,Ca
hydroxyapatite,Ca phosphate
 Types of bone cells
Function of each type bone cell
Orthopedic Terminology

Descriptive Orthopaedic
Terms
Valgus: part of body
distal to joint
directed away from
midline
 Varus: Part of body
distal to joint
directed toward
midline

Which foot has a
valgus deformity?
Hallus valgus
How do you
describe this
foot deformity?
Components of Assessment

Chief Complaint


Why seeking care
Acute and chronic
problem
•Pain

History taking; its
significance
 Pain characteristics




location
character
what effects
Associated conditions
Complications!
Principles of Assessment

Normal first
• Test your skills
 Bilateral
– Changes with age
comparison
– Nutritional status
 Inspect then gentle
– Skin integrity
palpation




shape, size ,
contour
signs inflammation,
ecchymosis
muscle condition
deformity
– Rashes
– Color changes, esp
with cold; arterial vs.
venous
– Character of joints
– Bruises, swelling
Diagnostic Tests
 Plain
x- ray: rule of 2s
 CT Scan
 Bone Scan
 MRI
 Arthrography
 Arthrocenthesis
 Arthroscopy
ORTHOPAEDIC DISORDERS
 Locomotive

WHAT CONDITIONS AFFECTING
THESE STRUCTURES
 Congenital
and developmental anomalies
 Infection and inflammation
 Arthritis and inflammatory disorders
 Metabolic dysfunction
 Tumors and tumor like condition
 Sensory and motor disorders
 Injuries and mechanical derangement

TRAUMA

Leading cause of death in young




Hundred of thousands die each year 1/10000
Half of deaths from RTA
10-15 % multitrauma
Deaths

1st hour
• Sever head injury
• Sever bleeding

1-4 hour
• Uncompensated blood loss

Days to weeks
• complication
EXTENT OF INJURY
 Age



Skeletally immature
Young but skeletally mature
Elderly
 Direction

of force
Determine which structure injured
 Magnitude

Determine extent of injury
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
 Bone
 Joint
 Ligament
 Muscle
 Nerve
 Vascular
Bone
 Fracture

Definition
Complete vs incomplete
Open Vs Closed
Pattern
Cause (injury, fatigue, pathological)
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

Bone

Direct
• Simple contusion
• Sever commonution

Indirect
•
•
•
•

Bending => transverse fracture
Compression => depressed fracture
Twisting=> spiral fracture
Combination=> oblique, commonution,
Penetrating
• Stab & laceration
• Missiles


Low v: < 300 m/s
• damage along the tract
• commonution
High v:
• Wide soft tissue damage
• Sever commonution with loss
Diaphyseal Fractures

Type A


Type B



Simple fractures with two
fragments
Wedge fractures
After reduced, length and
alignment restored
Type C

Complex fractures with no
contact between main
fragments
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
 Joint:
 Dislocation
 Subluxation
 Fracture-Dislocation
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
 Ligament:
 Sprain:
some fibers torn remains stable
 Partial rupture
 Complete rupture
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

Muscle

Direct
• Simple contusion
• Sever crush


Viability: remove all devitalised muscles
Indirect:
• By sharp end of fractured bone

Penetrating
• Laceration



Muscle
Musculotendinous junction
tendon
• Missiles


Low velocity
High velocity=> major damage
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
 Nerves


Neuropraxia
conduction block, (no axonal loss focal demyelination; rapid &
complete return of sensation or function 3 to 6 weeks;

Axonotemesis

axonal injury with subsequent degeneration, no disruption of the
endoneurial sheath, perineurium, or epineurium,complete
recovery may take as long as 12 months


Neurotemesis
severe disruption of the connective tissue components of the
nerve trunk with compromised sensory and functional
recovery , poor prognosis for recovery, and sensory and
functional recovery is never complete
TRAUMA OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
 Isolated
or combination
 Injury to vital organs
 Survival of the limb


Neurovascular
Integrity of skin
Bone
Prevention of complication
=> limb salvage ( functioning limb) or
amputation ( source of trouble)
