Definition of Fracture
A break in the continuity bone
Often associated with soft tissue injury Soft tissue injuries might be more serious
than the fracture

MRI, CT-scan In suspected cases In intra-articular fractures
![Page 20: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fracture Healing
Stages of fracture healing: Hematoma Inflammation Repair Remodeling
![Page 21: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. Hematoma
Bleeding caused by vessel rupture Hematoma collects Bone at fracture edges dies
Rockwood and Green
![Page 22: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2. Inflammation
Inflammatory cells accumulate Inflammatory mediators (cytokines) New blood vessels proliferate
Rockwood and Green
![Page 23: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Inflammation
Mesenchymal cells accumulate After 1 week forms granulation tissue Osteoclasts remove necrotic bone at
fragment ends growth factors stimulate the proliferation and
differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells Formation of connective tissue
![Page 24: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. Repair
Connective tissue differentiates Cartilage and fibrous tissue form
Soft callus formation (2-3 weeks) Movement at fracture stimulates more callus
Rockwood and Green

3. Repair - Tissue Differentiation

3. Repair Vascular and cellular response leads to tissue
differentiation and mineralization resulting in restoration of mechanical integrity
Fibrocartilage mineralizes (converts callus to woven bone)
![Page 27: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Callus Formation
Periosteal callus forms along the periphery of the fracture site
Intramedullary callus forms in the center of the fracture site Endochondral ossification at the site of the
fracture hematoma
Chemical and mechanical factors stimulate callus formation and mineralization
![Page 29: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Callus Formation Stability adequate in axial plane Angulation can still occur
fracture ends linked together by soft callus hard callus stage starts & lasts until fragment
ends are firmly united by new bone (3-4 m)

4. Remodeling
Woven bone slowly replaced by lamellar bone (few months to years) Medullary cavity is reconstituted Bone is restructured in response to stress and
strain

Prerequisites for Bone Healing
Adequate blood supply Adequate mechanical stability
If either is lost: results in delay in bone healing or no healing
occurs Smoking causes delay in bone union or
nonunion
![Page 34: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Complications of fractures
Early: Shock Compartment syndrome Fat embolism Deep vein thrombosis, embolism Infection
Delayed Malunion Delayed union / Nonunion
![Page 35: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Complications of fractures
Shock loss of blood Fractured femur could bleed 2L easily Fractured Pelvis could bleed 4L easily Open fractures with vascular injuries
What is the normal blood volume? How much bleeding could be tolerated?
![Page 36: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Complications of fractures
Compartment syndrome The compression of nerves, blood
vessels, and muscle inside a closed body space (compartment)
Causes tissue death from lack of oxygenation due to the blood vessels being compressed by the raised pressure within the compartment
More common in Forearm and leg (why?)
![Page 37: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Complications of fractures
Deep Vein Thrombosis, Embolism Caused by
Increased pressure in compartment Interrupted venous return Hematoma
![Page 38: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Complications of fractures
Infection: More in open fractures
Depends on amount of contamination and tissue necrosis
Possible in closed fractures
![Page 39: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Management of fractures
Assessment Type, location and severity of fracture Soft tissue damage Age and health status of patient Affection of other parts or organs
![Page 42: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Management of fractures
Goals: To regain and maintain correct position and
alignment. To regain the function of involved part. To return the patient to usual activities in the
shortest time and at the least expenses.
![Page 43: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Definitive treatment of fractures
Conservative Simple fractures More in children
Operative More complex fractures Articular fractures More in adults
![Page 44: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Conservative - closed reduction
Is the most common non surgical method for managing a simple fracture.
Splints: as upper extremity bones do not bear weight,
splints may be sufficient to keep bone fragments in place.
![Page 45: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Conservative - closed reduction
Casts : A cast is an immobilizing device made up of
layers of plaster or fiber glass. Allows early mobility and reduces pain
![Page 46: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Conservative - closed reduction
Traction: Application of a pulling
force to a part of the body Uses a system of ropes,
and weights to provide reduction, alignment and rest
![Page 47: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Open reduction / internal fixation
Achieves perfect reduction Permits early mobilization
It is often preferred for elderly patients who are susceptible complications of immobility
Best for adults and in intra-articular fractures Uses pins, screws, rods, plates, .. After bone union, the metal may be removed,
depending on the location and type of fracture
![Page 48: Bone Fracture and healing Prof. Mamoun Kremli AlMaarefa College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9832/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
