Common Bone injuries
This type of fracture is caused by twisting a bone excessively.
What is a spiral fracture
Distribution of force within a body.
What is Stress.
What component gives bones its flexibility and tensile strength
What is Collagen
What is type 1 osteoporosis?
What is a form of osteoporosis driven by estrogen deficiency, 40% of women > 50
What is the axial skeleton?
What is forms the vertical axis: core, skull, lumbar
This type of fracture is incomplete, and the break occurs on the convex surface of the bend in the bone.
What is a greenstick fracture
Amount of deformation divided by the original length of the structure.
What is Strain.
What are the two major categories of bone based on porosity.
What is Low porosity (cortical bone) and high porosity (trabecular bone)
What is type 2 osteoporosis?
What is a form of osteoporosis by long-term aging, most men and women > 70
This fracture typically involves cracks in a child’s growth plate.
What is a Salter-Harris fracture.
This fracture is complete and fragments the bone
What is a comminuted fracture
Ratio of stress to strain in a loaded material.
What is Stiffness.
Bone is designed to resist what type of loading?
What is compression, tensile, and shear loads.
What are some treatment/prevention strategies for of osteoporosis?
What is hormone replacement, nutrition, and Weight Bearing Exercises.
How bones are in the appendicular skeleton?
What is 126 bones.
This type of fracture is complete, and the break occurs at a right angle to the axis of the bone
What is a transverse fracture
What are the region names on a Stress/Strain Curve.
What is elastic and plastic.
Where is trabecular bone typically found?
Where is cortical bone typically found?
What is on the bone body
According to Wolfes law how does the bone respond to low-load training?
What is an increase in osteoclasts and a decrease in osteoblasts.
This fracture involves an incomplete longitudinal break.
What is a fissures fracture.
What are key points on a Stress/Strain Curve
What is proportional limit, yield strength, ultimate strength, and fracture.
What does it mean when bone is anisotropic?
The bone responds depending on the direction of the load applied.
What is the difference between an elastic and a viscoelastic material
What is Elastic material deforms and recovers to original shape when loaded and unloaded, viscoelastic material’s deformation depends on speed and duration.
According to Wolfes law how does the bone respond to high-load training?
What is an increase in osteoblasts and a decrease in osteoclasts
