1

Osteocyte

mature bone cell

2

osteoblast

cells that secrete materials needed to form bone

3

osteoclast

cells that breakdown or resorb bone tissue

4

ABC's

Alignment, Bone density, Cartilage, Soft Tissues

5

Osteophyte

outgrowth of bone near joint margins

6

Bone spur

osteophyte that is isolated, pointed, and forms at a soft tissue attachment site (i.e. heel spur)

7

subluxation

a partial dislocation where joint surfaces are no longer aligned

8

on a radiograph how should corticol bone look

white/bright and appears lighter than cancellous bone because it is more dense

9

what are the four textural abnormalities

fluffy, smudged, coarsened, lacy

10

fluffy

random proliferation of osteoblast and osteoclast activity and looks like cotton wool. (i.e. Paget's disease)

11

smudged

indistinct trabeculae (i.e. osteomalacia)

12

coarsening

emphasis of trabecular bone due to loss of bone (i.e osteoperosis)

13

lacy

delicate trabeculae (i.e. thalassemia)

14

what does sclerosis look like on a radiography?

whiter/brighter due to increase in bone density

15

subchondral bone

bone beneath articular cartilage layer

16

osteomyelitis

bone infection

17

osteonecrosis

bone death (avascular necrosis)

18

can soft tissues be seen on a radiograph?

no, too difficult to parse out between muscles etc

19

oblique fracture

angular cut through bone

20

spiral fracture

twisting/looping fracture

21

what are the consequences of an intraarticular fracture?

damage to intraarticular cartilage can create joint difficulties later in life

22

stress fracture

fracture due to normal loading on abnormal bone or repeated and minor trauma on normal bone

23

pathological fracture

a fracture that occurs due to disease (i.e. tumor on bone)

24

nonunion

bone healing stops at soft callous phase, fail to unite

25

malunion

fracture heals in poor alignment (angular or rotation)

26

S

slipped (type 1)

27

M

metaphyseal (type 2)

28

A

articular-epiphyseal (type 3)

29

C

complete metaphysis and epiphysis (type 4)

30

K

crushed (type 5)

31

5 P's of compartment syndrome

pain, pallor (lack of color), paresthesia, paralysis, pulselessness

32

5 stages of fracture healing

cellular stage, vascular stage, primary callus, bony callus, mature callus

33

avulsion fracture

fragment of bone pulled away from body due to loading via muscle or ligamentous structure

34

greenstick fracture

shaft is fractured on the tension side, cortex and periosteum remain intact on compression side

35

torus fracture

impaction fracture that results in buckling of the cortex

36

plastic bowing

deformation of bone
