osteons
circular structures
simple
Bone fracture that doesn't penetrate the skin, bone is broken into 2 pieces
compound
Bone fracture that DOES penetrate the skin, usually bone becomes infected and requires heavy antibiotics
comminuted
Bone fracture in which bone fragments into many pieces (usually happens in brittle bones)
depressed
Bone fracture in which broken bone portion is pressed inwards (skull)
impacted

8-12 weeks
Normally, healing of fractures takes ____. (longer in elderly)
Fracture Hematoma
1st stage of fracture healing - broken vessels form a blood clot
Granulation Tissue
2nd stage of fracture healing - fibrous tissue formed by fibroblasts and infiltrated by capillaries
Callus formation
3rd stage of fracture healing - soft callus of fibrocartilage replaced by hand callus of bine in 6 weeks
Remodeling
4th stage of fracture healing - occurs over next 6 month as spongy bone is replaced w/ compact bone
