Structure
• Cortical vs. Trabecular
• Woven vs. Lamellar
• Vascular supply
– Nutrient artery—intramedullary
– Periosteal
– Periarticular plexus
Extracellular Matrix
• Mineral: 2/3
– Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2
• Organic
– Type I collagen: 90%
– Noncollagenous protein: 10%
• Osteocalcin, most abundant
• Proteoglycans
• Others
Collagen Problems
• OI: Type I collagen
• Scurvy: Ascorbic acid dependent prolyl
hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase
• Ehlers-Danlos: Lysyl oxidase for
crosslinking
• Urinary detection of turnover: pyridinoline,
telopeptide, and hydroxyproline
Bone Cells
• Osteoblasts
– Receptor for PTH
– Roles
• Form bone
• Regulate osteoclasts
– Lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5)
• Transmembrane protein for osteoblast proliferation
regulation
• Signaling important for maintenance of bone mass
Bone Cells
• Osteoblast differentiation

Stem cell
Mesenchymal stem cell
Osteoprogenitor
Pre-osteoblast
Mature osteoblast
Osteocyte
Cell deth
Osteoblastic Problems
• Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
– Activating mutation in BMP receptor ACVR1
• Cleidocranial dysostosis
– Loss of runx 2 gene (formerly CBFA 1)
– Runx 2: transcription factor, “master regulator”
of osteoblast differentiation
Osteoclasts
• Lineage: related to hematopoietic cells,
macrophages
• Receptors
– Calcitonin
– RANKL, (osteoprotegrin)
– Integrin
• Half-life: 10 days
Form and Function
• Remodeling
– Trabecular
– Cortical
• Molecular coupling
– PTH
– RANKL
– BMP
Mechanical Regulation
• Wolff’s Law
Mechanical Properties
• Anisotropic
– Stronger in compression than tension
• Viscoelastic
– Higher stiffness and strength at higher loading
rates
Aging
• Osteoporosis: 2.5 SD < young standard
• Increase in both inner and outer diamters
• More anisotropy

Vascularization from fibrous tissue
Differentiation of bone cells
Cutting cones
Remodeling
Fracture Healing
• External factors
– Micromotion: endochondral ossification
– Rigid fixation: direct intramembranous
ossification
Fracture Healing
• Inflammatory response
• Cell differentiation
– sox9 upregulates cartilage genes (col2)
– Hypertrophic chondrocytes: type X collagen
• Ossification
• Remodeling
Chondrogenesis Pathology
• Camptomelic dysplasia: sox9 mutation
• Cleidocranial dysplasia: runx2 mutation
• Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED):
cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP)
• Diastrophic dysplasia: sulfate transport
protein
Fixation Biomechanics
• Intramedullary device
• Plates
– Rigidity: thickness3
• External fixation
– Rigidity
• Pin diameter, number, bone to rod distance, pin
group separation, ½ pins separated 45°
Bone Grafts
• Osteoconductive
• Osteoinductive
• Osteogenic
• Gold Standard: Autograft
Allograft
• Structural
• Particulate
• Demineralized
Minerals and Other
•
•
•
•
Calcium sulfate
Tricalcium phosphate ceramics
Calcium phosphate cements
Polymers
BMP
• TGF- β family
• Bind cell curface receptors
– Serine/threonine kinase receptors
• Phosphorylate SMADs
• SMADs translocates into nucleus to activate
genes for osteoblast differentiation
Adjunctive Therapies
• Inductive coupling (magnetic)
– Upregulation TGF-β1, FGF-2, BMP
• Capacitative coupling (electrodes)
– Transmembrane calcium translocation
– Upregulation of TGF- β1, BMP
• Ultrasound
– Increased TGF- β1, PGE2, PDGF
