Bone functions:
-
Mineral storage (calcium, phosphate and fat storage)
-
-
-
-
Fracture healing
- Callus formation (bony soft scab)
- Consolidation (turns into hard bone again)
- Haematoma formation (bloody bruise) and inflammation
-
-
2 Types of bone tissue
Compact bone
-
Dense, hard and heavy tissue
-
Found in shafts of femur, fibula and tibia
Spongy bone
-
esponsible for the flexibility and weight distribution shifts that can withstand
multidirectional forces
What it houses
-
- Found in the ends of long bones, carpals, tarsals, pelvic/innominate bones,
vertebrae, ribs, skull, shoulder blade
-
Soft tissue injury
- Primary Injury - direct damage to cells
- Secondary Injury - Physiological responses following primary injury
-
-
Tissue Remodelling :
- Ongoing fibroblasts activity and collagen production
- Deposition of new fibrous tissue
- Scar tissue formation
- Type III collagen fibres being replaced by type I collagen fibres
