• GH from anterior pituitary, which is regulated by T3 and T4 of the thyroid

• During puberty- sex hormones: estrogen and testosterone

Hyposecretion of GH- dwarfism

Hypersecretion of GH- gigantism

bone remodeling

Usually treated by realignment

• Simple- closed fracture (8-12 wks to heal) bone breaks cleanly; no penetration

• Compound- bone penetrates through skin

• Comminuted- bone fragments into many pieces; aged or brittle bones

• Compression- bone is crushed

• Depressed- broken bone portion is depressed inward

• Impacted- broken bone ends are forced into each other

• Spiral- excessive twisting of bone

• Greenstick- bone breaks incompletely

Oblique Comminuted Spiral Compound

1. Electrical stimulation of the fracture site:• Increases speed and completeness of healing• The e- stimulation inhibits PTH and slow osteoclasts

down from reabsorbing bone2. Ultrasound treatment:• Daily treatments reduce healing time of broken bones

by 25-35%3. Free vascular fibular graft technique:• Transplant fibula in arm• Gives good blood supply not available in other

treatments4. Bone substitutes:• Crushed bone from cadaver- but risk of HIV and

hepatitis• Sea bone- coral• Artificial bone- ceramic

Osteoporosis- bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposit; bones become lighter and fracture easier

Factors: • age, gender (more in women)• estrogen and testosterone decrease• insufficient exercise (or too much)• diet poor in Ca++ and protein• abnormal vitamin D receptors• smoking

Osteomalacia- soft bones, inadequate mineralization in bones, lack of vitamin D

1. What does the secondary site of ossification produce?

2. What is an epiphyseal line?3. Provide an example of a flat bone?4. How does PTH effect bone

development?5. How many bones in the adult

skeleton?6. What does an osteoblast do and

where are they primarily found?
