  1. 7. A possible complication of bone healing after a fracture.
  2. 8. Responsible for forming new bone.
  3. 9. ________ fracture: A fracture of the distal 2cm of radius and ulnar styloid in which the lower fragment is displaced posteriorly, resulting in a dorsal angulation of the distal segment, usually from a fall on an outstretched hand.
  4. 10. ________fracture: The response of normal bone to repeated, abnormal force applications. These repeated abnormal forces may cause 'compressive' or 'distractive' fractures.
  5. 14. _________ fracture: The response of normal bone to a sudden force applied to it via a fall or accident.
  6. 15. ________ fracture: Fracture that occurs at the location of a ligament or tendon attachment, typically resulting in a portion of the bone displacing.
  7. 16. A type of disturbed fracture healing where at least 6 months out from the initial fracture, the separated fragments demonstrate poor fixation or lack of callusing.
  8. 18. The portion of the bone healing process that involves complete restoration of the medullary canal.
  9. 20. ________ fracture: When the two broken end of bone are separated and not in anatomical alignment.
  10. 22. Any defect in the continuity of a bone like a small crack, complex fracture, multiple segments.
  11. 23. Responsible for resorption of existing bone.
Down
  1. 1. Immediate vascular response of the bone healing process after a fracture.
  2. 2. ________ fracture: Typically a pediatric occurrence. The young, soft bone bends, causing the cortex to fracture first before the core breaks
  3. 3. __________ fracture: When the fractured bone breaches skin.
  4. 4. _________fracture: When bone is rendered abnormally fragile due to disease, normal or abnormal forces may cause it to fracture.
  5. 5. ________ fracture: A fracture of the long bones in either the upper or lower extremities. Maybe a candidate for a Functional Fracture Brace rather than an immobilization cast.
  6. 6. Callus The portion of the bone healing process that involves a fibro-osseous union replacing the fibrocartilage collar around the fracture site.
  7. 11. Levels One of many factors that influence bone remodeling.
  8. 12. __________ fracture: When the fractured bone does not breach skin.
  9. 13. ________ fracture: The result of abnormal bone breaking due to application of normal forces.
  10. 17. The environment required to maintain fracture stability and alignment of mid-shaft diaphyseal fractures. Relies on circumferentially applied stresses for appropriate and early osteogenesis and improved circulation.
  11. 18. Phase The portion of the bone healing process that involves fibroblasts and capillary buds forming around and between the bone ends of a fracture. This phase is indicative of osteogenic cells proliferating and forming a fibrocartilage 'collar' around the fracture site.
  12. 19. A type of disturbed fracture healing where the remodeled bone results in abnormal alignment/position.
  13. 21. Bones are the primary storage for _______ , phosphate, sodium and magnesium.
