The normal length of time for a fracture to heal is: -
CORRECT|ANSWER
8-12 weeks
The five stages of normal fracture healing in correct order include: -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Inflammation, cellular proliferation, callus formation, ossification, remodeling
Factors that may disrupt normal fracture healing include all except: -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Internal fixation immobilization
The interior of a vertebra consists of what type of bone? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Trabecular
A fracture in which the bone is in normal anatomical alignment -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Simple
How would you describe this type of fracture (Rotary)? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Spiral
What type of fracture is this? (Bloody) -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Open
,What type of fracture occurs as a result of nutritional deficits? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Trophic
What type of fracture is this, if the MOI was twisting? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Indirect fracture
Name the type of fracture that occurs to young (<10y/o) soft bones that bend and break in the
diaphysis -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Greenstick
Osteocytes -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Mature bone cells
Osteoblasts -
CORRECT|ANSWER
A cell that manufactures
Osteoclasts -
CORRECT|ANSWER
A bone cell which breaks down bone matrix
Trabecular (Cancellous bone) -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Type of porous bone having large latticework and a spongy, honeycomb appearance; filled with
marrow
Matrix -
, CORRECT|ANSWER
the microscope substance of a tissue or cell. Intercellular substance of cartilage, produced by
cartilage cells
Compact (cortical) bone -
CORRECT|ANSWER
dense hard layer of bone making up outer surface of long bones; surrounds spongy trabecular bone
Cancellous (trabecular) -
CORRECT|ANSWER
refers to the inner layer of bone that has a porous, lattice-like, spongy structure
Periosteum -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Divided into 2 layers. New blood cells are produced in the inner layer of the periosteum. Nerve and
blood vessels within the periosteum provide nourishment for the underlying bone, but not sufficient
to provide all the nourishment needed by the bone cortex. Periosteum also helps protect the bone
from infection.The spaces in cancellous bone contain bone marrow
Medullary cavity -
CORRECT|ANSWER
refers to marrow or soft marrow-like material in the center of a bone (medulla). Lined with a tissue
called endosteum. Contains a blood supply for the bone.
Normal bone healing -
CORRECT|ANSWER
A fractured bone should normally heal within 8 -12 weeks. To ensure good healing, the fracture
should be:
a. Properly aligned
b. Immobilized by internal or external fixation
Stage one of normal bone healing: Inflammation -
