Chapter 6: In this chapter, we learned about the physiology of bones. By first exploring skeletal cartilages, and then understanding the functions of bones, developmental aspects of bones, bone classification, and repairing bones.
Background Info
-
-
-
Bone remodeling
-
-
bone deposit
-
requires: vitamin D, vitamin C, calcium and phosphate
Stages of bone healing
hematoma formation
torn blood vessels hemorrhage, forming mass of clotted blood called hematoma
-
bony callus formation
within one week, new trabeculae appear in fibrocartilaginous callus

Upstream Causes
-
-
Overall: Trauma caused the brake, bones were not as strong as they should be due to lack of calcium
Downstream Causes
Fracture
upper arm: open due to skin penetration, compete, since it is through the skin, and is displaced since it is out of alignment
fragments of bone on the wound would be a comminuted break, since it was broken into peices
Overall
the boys diet had something to do with the fracture, bones are not mineralized and strong
elbow/upper arm is going to result in a cast and sling, stabilization is key to healing
He is young, he should heal just fine and have a faster recovery due to the fact that his bones are still growing
