Across
- 7. A possible complication of bone healing after a fracture.
- 8. Responsible for forming new bone.
- 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.
- 10. ________fracture: The response of normal bone to repeated, abnormal force applications. These repeated abnormal forces may cause 'compressive' or 'distractive' fractures.
- 14. _________ fracture: The response of normal bone to a sudden force applied to it via a fall or accident.
- 15. ________ fracture: Fracture that occurs at the location of a ligament or tendon attachment, typically resulting in a portion of the bone displacing.
- 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.
- 18. The portion of the bone healing process that involves complete restoration of the medullary canal.
- 20. ________ fracture: When the two broken end of bone are separated and not in anatomical alignment.
- 22. Any defect in the continuity of a bone like a small crack, complex fracture, multiple segments.
- 23. Responsible for resorption of existing bone.
Down
- 1. Immediate vascular response of the bone healing process after a fracture.
- 2. ________ fracture: Typically a pediatric occurrence. The young, soft bone bends, causing the cortex to fracture first before the core breaks
- 3. __________ fracture: When the fractured bone breaches skin.
- 4. _________fracture: When bone is rendered abnormally fragile due to disease, normal or abnormal forces may cause it to fracture.
- 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. Callus The portion of the bone healing process that involves a fibro-osseous union replacing the fibrocartilage collar around the fracture site.
- 11. Levels One of many factors that influence bone remodeling.
- 12. __________ fracture: When the fractured bone does not breach skin.
- 13. ________ fracture: The result of abnormal bone breaking due to application of normal forces.
- 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.
- 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.
- 19. A type of disturbed fracture healing where the remodeled bone results in abnormal alignment/position.
- 21. Bones are the primary storage for _______ , phosphate, sodium and magnesium.
