Bone
MOB TCD

Cortical Bone
• Dense, hard bone found
in cortex
• Three quarters of
skeletal tissue
• High mineral content
Carter & Hayes, 1976
MOB TCD

Cortical Bone
• Stiffer than cancellous
• Withstands greater
stress, less strain
• Fractures when strain
exceeds 2%
Carter & Hayes, 1976
MOB TCD

Cortical Bone
•
•
•
•

Low surface area
Porosity 5-30%
Slow metabolic rate
Develops in line of
stress

Einhorn,1996
MOB TCD

Tibia
• The shaft of the tibia is
mainly compact bone
• A central medullary cavity
containing mainly fat
• The ends are compact bone
• With an inner core of
cancellous bone
• The periosteum is the
vascular fibrous connective
tissue investing bone
MOB TCD

Trabecular or Cancellous Bone
• Found inside cortical shell
e.g. Vertebrae
• Consists of horizontal and
vertical plates
• Spaces are filled with bone
marrow
• Large surface area
• Porosity is between 30-90%
MOB TCD

Trabecular or Cancellous Bone
• Greater capacity to store
energy
• In vitro fractures at strains
>75%
• Metabolically more active
• More sensitive to changes in
endocrine hormones
Carter & Hayes,1976; Einhorn, 1996
MOB TCD

Cancellous Bone
• Compressive strength is
proportional to the square of
the apparent density
• Small changes in density
• Large change in strength
Dalen et al., 1976
MOB TCD

Bone
• Organic matrix
• Type I collagen forms 90%
of skeletal weight
• Mineral hydroxyapatite ratio
• Calcium 10
• Phosphate 6
• Carbonate 1
MOB TCD

Bone Remodelling
• Bone is a living tissue
• Osteoclastic activity i.e.
bone resorption takes
only few days
• Osteoblastic or bone
formation takes several
months

A Healthy Skeleton requires a Balance
of Bone Resorption and Formation
Activation

Resorption: 10 days

When bone turnover is
increased, bone loss
dominates
Reversal

Resting

Formation: 3 months

Bone
Bones Require
• Normal hormones
• Adequate calories
• Particular protein
• Calcium
• Vitamin D
• Regular weight bearing
• Exercise
MOB TCD

Bone
• The rate of turnover is
determined by hormonal
and local factors
Four Mechanisms of
Bone Mass Regulation

MOB TCD
MOB TCD

Wolff’s Law
• Changes in bone function
lead to changes in bone
• Bone is laid down where
needed
• Bone is resorbed where it
is not needed
Wolff, 1892
MOB TCD

Mechanical Strain
• Osteogenesis is induced
by dynamic not static
strains
• The optimal type of
osteogenic activity should
provide relatively high
levels of strain
Rubin & Lanyon, 1984
MOB TCD

Bone
• Tensile forces result in
osteoclastic activity
• On the convex side of an
angulated bone
• Compressive force
results in osteoblastic
activity on concave side

MOB TCD

Peak Bone Mass
•
•
•
•

Genetic
Environmental factors
Mechanical strain
Hormones
MOB TCD

Peak Bone Mass
• Weight bearing activity
during adolescence and
early adulthood was a far
more important predictor of
peak bone mass than
calcium intake
Welten et al., 1994
MOB TCD

Low Peak Bone Mass
• Growing bone has a greater
capacity to add new bone
to skeleton than mature
bone
Forwood & Burr, 1993
MOB TCD

Osteogenesis
• Muscle action is main
stimulus for bone
formation
• Mechanical force
• Weight bearing
Birge et al., 1968
MOB TCD

Classification of Bones
By Shape
• Long
• Short
• Flat
• Irregular
• Sesamoid
MOB TCD

Short Bones
Short bones
• Found only in the hand and foot
• Vary in shape
MOB TCD

Flat Bones and Irregular Bones
Flat bones
• Usually consist of two layers
of compact bone
• Cancellous bone lies in
between
• Found in the skull and
sternum
Irregular bones
• Occur in the face and
vertebrae
MOB TCD

Sesamoid Bones
Sesamoid bones
• Develop in tendons where
they cross bone
• Or articular surfaces,
patella
• Sesamoids in relation to
thumb and hallux
MOB TCD

Long Bones
Long bones
• Have a cartilaginous
ossification
• Are found mainly in the limbs
and consist of:
• Shaft (the diaphysis), which is
ossified from the primary center
of ossification during
intrauterine life
• The cavity of the shaft, contains
red marrow in the fetus, yellow
fat in the adult
MOB TCD

Bone Growth
• Diaphysis: shaft ossified from
primary center of ossification
which appears 6-8th week of
intrauterine life
• Epiphysis: ossified from
secondary center
• Growth plate is cartilage
• Injury of epiphysis affects
growth
MOB TCD

Epiphysis
• Is ossified from a secondary
center of ossification
• These usually appear shortly
after birth
• Except for the lower end of the
femur, which appears 9
months intrauterine life, just
before birth
• Epiphysis unite with the
diaphysis (shaft) from puberty
to early twenties depending on
the bone involved
MOB TCD

Metaphysis
• The portion of the diaphysis
beside the epiphysis is called
the metaphysis
• This is the region where
osteomyelitis tends to occur in
young people
• The metaphyseal arteries are
end arteries until ossification is
completed i.e. the epiphyseal
plate is ossified
MOB TCD

Bones
• Long bones grow in length from
epiphyseal plates
• Increase in width is from
periosteum
• Damage to the epiphyseal
growth plate can lead to
premature closing and retards
normal growth
• Anabolic steroids will also cause
early closure
MOB TCD

Epiphyses
•
•
•
•

Traction epiphyses
The tibial tuberosity
Osgood-Schlatters
Medial epicondyle of the
humerus, in ‘little league
elbow’
• Compression epiphysis
• The distal end of the
humerus
MOB TCD

Musculoskeletal Problems
• Younger athletes
• Suffer many of the same
injuries and illnesses as adults
• Differences is the structure of
growing bone

Avulsed epiphysis
MOB TCD

Lesions which affect Growth Plate
Articular
• Perthes: femoral
• Kienbock: lunate
• Kohler: navicular
• Freiberg: 2nd metatarsal

•
•
•
•

Shearing forces

• Type 3 and type 4 involve joint
surface as well as growth plate
• Type 5 compression of growth
plate
• Difficult to detect
• Growth ceases

MOB TCD
MOB TCD

Blood Supply of Bone
• Periosteal arteries enter bone
at several points to supply the
compact bone
• Nutrient arteries supply spongy
bone and bone marrow
MOB TCD

Blood Supply of Bone
• Periosteal arteries enter the
bone at several points to
supply the compact bone
• Nutrient arteries supply the
spongy bone and bone marrow
• Epiphyseal arteries supply the
epiphysis
• Metaphyseal arteries supply
the metaphysis
MOB TCD

Blood Supply of Bone
• Periosteal arteries occur particularly
at the sites of attachments of muscles
and tendons
• If a group of muscles inserted into a
bone is paralysed before puberty
• That bone will be shorter than the
equivalent bone on the other side
• Due to reduced blood supply from the
muscles involved
• The lack of stimulus to bone from lack
of muscle contractions
• After puberty only muscle bulk is
reduced
MOB TCD

Blood Supply of Bone
• Epiphyseal arteries supply the
epiphysis
• Metaphyseal arteries supply
the metaphysis
• These are end arteries until
epiphysis unites with diaphysis
MOB TCD

Avascular Necrosis
• Bones that have a large surface
area covered with articular
cartilage tend to have a poorer
blood supply
• Avascular necrosis occurs if
blood supply is cut off due to
fracture
• e.g. head of femur, due to
fracture of neck of femur
• Proximal portion of the
scaphoid
• Body of talus or dislocation e.g.
lunate
MOB TCD

Apophysis
•
•
•
•

Tendon attachment to growth plate
Traction injuries may occur
Medial epicondylitis
Limit numbers of pitches in
baseball
• Osgood-Schlatters lesion of tibial
tuberosity
• 12-16 year olds
MOB TCD

Avulsion Fractures

Medial epicondyle
MOB TCD

Bones in Children
•
•
•
•

More flexible
More elastic
Less brittle
Growth plate is weakest
link
• Periosteum thicker
MOB TCD

Bones in Children
• Articular cartilage thicker
• Junction between
• Metaphysis and epiphysis
vulnerable
• Shearing forces
• Tendon attachment to
apophysis weak
MOB TCD

Eating Disorders
May result in
• Delayed bone growth
• Delayed menarche
• Low peak bone mass
• Osteopenia or osteoporosis
• Increased musculo-skeletal
problems
MOB TCD

Articular Cartilage
• The thickness of the
cartilage depends on the
stress to which it is
normally subjected
• Varies over the joint
surface
• Patella has the thickest
articular cartilage
MOB TCD

Articular Cartilage
• Articular cartilage is avascular
• Nourished by synovial fluid,
from capillaries in the synovial
membrane
• When the articular surfaces are
in contact
Hollingshead, 1969
MOB TCD

MOB TCD

Muscles
• Muscle can only act on a joint,
if it crosses the joint

action on the joint tend to have
same nerve supply
• Usually nerve of compartment
gives an articular branch to
joint
• Exception, flexors of the
elbow, where median, ulnar
and radial all give branches

Classification of bones_and_joint_bmj

  • 1.
  • 2. MOB TCD Classification of Bones and Joints Professor Emeritus Moira O’Brien FRCPI, FFSEM, FFSEM(UK), FTCD Trinity College Dublin
  • 4. MOB TCD Cortical Bone • Dense, hard bone found in cortex • Three quarters of skeletal tissue • High mineral content Carter & Hayes, 1976
  • 5. MOB TCD Cortical Bone • Stiffer than cancellous • Withstands greater stress, less strain • Fractures when strain exceeds 2% Carter & Hayes, 1976
  • 6. MOB TCD Cortical Bone • • • • Low surface area Porosity 5-30% Slow metabolic rate Develops in line of stress Einhorn,1996
  • 7. MOB TCD Tibia • The shaft of the tibia is mainly compact bone • A central medullary cavity containing mainly fat • The ends are compact bone • With an inner core of cancellous bone • The periosteum is the vascular fibrous connective tissue investing bone
  • 8. MOB TCD Trabecular or Cancellous Bone • Found inside cortical shell e.g. Vertebrae • Consists of horizontal and vertical plates • Spaces are filled with bone marrow • Large surface area • Porosity is between 30-90%
  • 9. MOB TCD Trabecular or Cancellous Bone • Greater capacity to store energy • In vitro fractures at strains >75% • Metabolically more active • More sensitive to changes in endocrine hormones Carter & Hayes,1976; Einhorn, 1996
  • 10. MOB TCD Cancellous Bone • Compressive strength is proportional to the square of the apparent density • Small changes in density • Large change in strength Dalen et al., 1976
  • 11. MOB TCD Bone • Organic matrix • Type I collagen forms 90% of skeletal weight • Mineral hydroxyapatite ratio • Calcium 10 • Phosphate 6 • Carbonate 1
  • 12. MOB TCD Bone Remodelling • Bone is a living tissue • Osteoclastic activity i.e. bone resorption takes only few days • Osteoblastic or bone formation takes several months
  • 14. MOB TCD Phases of Bone Remodelling Normal bone turnover Osteoporotic bone turnover osteocytes Quiescence bone Activation osteoclast Resorption Formation osteoblast osteoid new bone Quiescence D1202
  • 15. A Healthy Skeleton depends on a Balanced RANK Ligand: OPG Ratio RANK Ligand NK RA nd iga L OPG Increases Bone Loss OPG RAN Liga K nd OPG Prevents Bone Loss 1 Hofbauer LC et al. JAMA 2004;292: 490–495; 2 Lacey DL et al. Cell 1998;93:165–176; 3 Boyle WJ et al. Nature 2003;423:337–342 MOB TCD
  • 16. A Healthy Skeleton requires a Balance of Bone Resorption and Formation Activation Resorption: 10 days When bone turnover is increased, bone loss dominates Reversal Resting Formation: 3 months Adapted from Baron, R. General Principles of Bone Biology. In: Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism. Favus MJ (Ed.) 5th Edition. American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, Washington DC, 2003: 1–8 MOB TCD
  • 17. MOB TCD Regulation of Osteoclastogenesis osteoblast Monoclonal antibody to RANKL AMG 162 RANKL M-CSF OPG RANK c-fms Osteoclast precursor differentiation Osteoclast
  • 18. MOB TCD Bone Bones Require • Normal hormones • Adequate calories • Particular protein • Calcium • Vitamin D • Regular weight bearing • Exercise
  • 19. MOB TCD Bone • The rate of turnover is determined by hormonal and local factors
  • 20. Four Mechanisms of Bone Mass Regulation MOB TCD
  • 21. MOB TCD Wolff’s Law • Changes in bone function lead to changes in bone • Bone is laid down where needed • Bone is resorbed where it is not needed Wolff, 1892
  • 22. MOB TCD Mechanical Strain • Osteogenesis is induced by dynamic not static strains • The optimal type of osteogenic activity should provide relatively high levels of strain Rubin & Lanyon, 1984
  • 23. MOB TCD Bone • Tensile forces result in osteoclastic activity • On the convex side of an angulated bone • Compressive force results in osteoblastic activity on concave side
  • 24. MOB TCD Bone Bones require • Normal hormones • Adequate calories • Particularly protein • Calcium • Vitamin D • Regular weight bearing exercise
  • 25. MOB TCD Age Related Changes in Bone Mass1 Attainment of Peak Bone Mass Consolidation Age Related Bone Loss Menopause Men Fracture threshold Women 0 10 20 30 Age (years) 40 50 60 1. Compston JE. Clinical Endocrinology 1990;33:653-682 D1202
  • 26. MOB TCD Peak Bone Mass • • • • Genetic Environmental factors Mechanical strain Hormones
  • 27. MOB TCD Peak Bone Mass • Weight bearing activity during adolescence and early adulthood was a far more important predictor of peak bone mass than calcium intake Welten et al., 1994
  • 28. MOB TCD Low Peak Bone Mass • Growing bone has a greater capacity to add new bone to skeleton than mature bone Forwood & Burr, 1993
  • 29. MOB TCD Osteogenesis • Muscle action is main stimulus for bone formation • Mechanical force • Weight bearing Birge et al., 1968
  • 30. MOB TCD Classification of Bones By Shape • Long • Short • Flat • Irregular • Sesamoid
  • 31. MOB TCD Short Bones Short bones • Found only in the hand and foot • Vary in shape
  • 32. MOB TCD Flat Bones and Irregular Bones Flat bones • Usually consist of two layers of compact bone • Cancellous bone lies in between • Found in the skull and sternum Irregular bones • Occur in the face and vertebrae
  • 33. MOB TCD Sesamoid Bones Sesamoid bones • Develop in tendons where they cross bone • Or articular surfaces, patella • Sesamoids in relation to thumb and hallux
  • 34. MOB TCD Long Bones Long bones • Have a cartilaginous ossification • Are found mainly in the limbs and consist of: • Shaft (the diaphysis), which is ossified from the primary center of ossification during intrauterine life • The cavity of the shaft, contains red marrow in the fetus, yellow fat in the adult
  • 35. MOB TCD Bone Growth • Diaphysis: shaft ossified from primary center of ossification which appears 6-8th week of intrauterine life • Epiphysis: ossified from secondary center • Growth plate is cartilage • Injury of epiphysis affects growth
  • 36. MOB TCD Epiphysis • Is ossified from a secondary center of ossification • These usually appear shortly after birth • Except for the lower end of the femur, which appears 9 months intrauterine life, just before birth • Epiphysis unite with the diaphysis (shaft) from puberty to early twenties depending on the bone involved
  • 37. MOB TCD Metaphysis • The portion of the diaphysis beside the epiphysis is called the metaphysis • This is the region where osteomyelitis tends to occur in young people • The metaphyseal arteries are end arteries until ossification is completed i.e. the epiphyseal plate is ossified
  • 38. MOB TCD Bones • Long bones grow in length from epiphyseal plates • Increase in width is from periosteum • Damage to the epiphyseal growth plate can lead to premature closing and retards normal growth • Anabolic steroids will also cause early closure
  • 39. MOB TCD Epiphyses • • • • Traction epiphyses The tibial tuberosity Osgood-Schlatters Medial epicondyle of the humerus, in ‘little league elbow’ • Compression epiphysis • The distal end of the humerus
  • 40. MOB TCD Musculoskeletal Problems • Younger athletes • Suffer many of the same injuries and illnesses as adults • Differences is the structure of growing bone Avulsed epiphysis
  • 41. MOB TCD Lesions which affect Growth Plate Articular • Perthes: femoral • Kienbock: lunate • Kohler: navicular • Freiberg: 2nd metatarsal • Osteochondritis dissecans • Lateral aspect medial femoral condyle
  • 42. MOB TCD Epiphyseal Injuries • • • • • • Shearing forces Avulsion forces Compression fractures Metaphyseal Growth plate Avulsion
  • 43. Growth Plate Fractures Salter-Harris Classification • Type 1 and type 2 heal well • Type 3 and type 4 involve joint surface as well as growth plate • Type 5 compression of growth plate • Difficult to detect • Growth ceases MOB TCD
  • 44. MOB TCD Blood Supply of Bone • Periosteal arteries enter bone at several points to supply the compact bone • Nutrient arteries supply spongy bone and bone marrow
  • 45. MOB TCD Blood Supply of Bone • Periosteal arteries enter the bone at several points to supply the compact bone • Nutrient arteries supply the spongy bone and bone marrow • Epiphyseal arteries supply the epiphysis • Metaphyseal arteries supply the metaphysis
  • 46. MOB TCD Blood Supply of Bone • Periosteal arteries occur particularly at the sites of attachments of muscles and tendons • If a group of muscles inserted into a bone is paralysed before puberty • That bone will be shorter than the equivalent bone on the other side • Due to reduced blood supply from the muscles involved • The lack of stimulus to bone from lack of muscle contractions • After puberty only muscle bulk is reduced
  • 47. MOB TCD Blood Supply of Bone • Epiphyseal arteries supply the epiphysis • Metaphyseal arteries supply the metaphysis • These are end arteries until epiphysis unites with diaphysis
  • 48. MOB TCD Avascular Necrosis • Bones that have a large surface area covered with articular cartilage tend to have a poorer blood supply • Avascular necrosis occurs if blood supply is cut off due to fracture • e.g. head of femur, due to fracture of neck of femur • Proximal portion of the scaphoid • Body of talus or dislocation e.g. lunate
  • 49. MOB TCD Apophysis • • • • Tendon attachment to growth plate Traction injuries may occur Medial epicondylitis Limit numbers of pitches in baseball • Osgood-Schlatters lesion of tibial tuberosity • 12-16 year olds
  • 51. MOB TCD Bones in Children • • • • More flexible More elastic Less brittle Growth plate is weakest link • Periosteum thicker
  • 52. MOB TCD Bones in Children • Articular cartilage thicker • Junction between • Metaphysis and epiphysis vulnerable • Shearing forces • Tendon attachment to apophysis weak
  • 53. MOB TCD Eating Disorders May result in • Delayed bone growth • Delayed menarche • Low peak bone mass • Osteopenia or osteoporosis • Increased musculo-skeletal problems
  • 54. MOB TCD Articular Cartilage • The thickness of the cartilage depends on the stress to which it is normally subjected • Varies over the joint surface • Patella has the thickest articular cartilage
  • 55. MOB TCD Articular Cartilage • Articular cartilage is avascular • Nourished by synovial fluid, from capillaries in the synovial membrane • When the articular surfaces are in contact Hollingshead, 1969
  • 56. MOB TCD Musculoskeletal Injuries Extrinsic factors • Sport • Contact sports • Environment • Equipment • Protective • Overuse Intrinsic factors • Physical • Physiological • Psychological • Previous injury
  • 57. MOB TCD Bone Pain • • • • Osteomyelitis Tumour (night pain) Osteochondritis Rheumatoid arthritis
  • 58. MOB TCD Stress Fractures • • • • • • • • • Biomechanical causes Training errors Athletic triad Amenorrhea Eating disorders Osteoporosisor osteopenia X-ray many times negative MRI is extremely sensitive Stress fracture of the femoral neck is potentially serious and need often surgery
  • 59. MOB TCD Joint • Junction between two bones • Function and movement depends • Size and shape of articular surfaces • Soft tissues surrounding the joint
  • 60. MOB TCD Range of Joint Movement • • • • • • Shape of articulating surfaces Restraint due to ligaments and muscles crossing joint Pain, weakness, spasm or contracture of muscles Bulk of adjacent soft tissue Impingement of bony surfaces Scarring of skin due to injury or burns
  • 61. MOB TCD Muscles • Muscle can only act on a joint, if it crosses the joint • Muscles that have a common action on the joint tend to have same nerve supply • Usually nerve of compartment gives an articular branch to joint • Exception, flexors of the elbow, where median, ulnar and radial all give branches
  • 62. MOB TCD Classification of Joints • • • • Fibrous Cartilaginous Primary and secondary Synovial
  • 63. MOB TCD Fibrous Joints • Fibrous union • Slight movement • Gomphosis i.e. tooth and its socket • Sutures • Syndesmosis
  • 64. MOB TCD Fibrous (Suture) • Consists of dense fibrous connective tissue between the bones • Periosteum covering the opposing surfaces of the bones • Synostosis • Fusion of the bones across the sutural joints continues throughout life
  • 65. MOB TCD Fibrous Syndesmosis • Interosseous membranes: radius and ulna, similar in lower limb and inferior tibio-fibular joint

  2. Alterations of the RANK Ligand/OPG ratio are critical in the pathogenesis of bone diseases that result in increased bone resorption: Unopposed RANK Ligand (i.e. an elevated RANK Ligand/OPG ratio) within the skeleton promotes bone loss Restoring a balanced RANK Ligand/OPG ratio or inhibiting RANK Ligand decreases osteoclast activation and bone resorption.1–3 In many diseases involving increased bone resorption, RANK Ligand expression is upregulated by osteoclastogenic factors (growth factors, hormones, cytokines), while OPG expression is simultaneously downregulated.3
  3. Bone remodelling is the process by which old bone is replaced by new bone. Bone remodelling consists of four phases: resting, resorption, reversal and formation.1 During the resorption phase, osteoclasts remove both mineral and organic components of bone matrix by generating an acidic microenvironment between the cell and bone. Once the osteoclasts have resorbed most of the mineral and organic matrix, they undergo apoptosis during the reversal phase and osteoblasts are recruited to the bone surface. In the formation phase, osteoblasts deposit new, healthy osteoid (unmineralised collagen matrix), which is subsequently mineralised, resulting in good-quality bone.
  4. This figure by Compston (1990), illustrates the changes in bone mass throughout life and shows the rapid bone loss that occurs at the menopause. Bone mass in both men and women increases until a peak is attained at around age 30. In both sexes, a slow rate of bone loss starts at around age 40. However, in women, the accelerated postmenopausal phase of bone loss is superimposed on top of this slow loss phase. Rates of bone loss in postmenopausal women can be as great as 5-6% per year. In women, oestrogen deficiency is the major determinant of bone loss after the menopause due to the removal of the ‘brakes’ from Osteoclastic activity. The accelerated bone loss is important to remember when looking at preventative therapies for osteoporosis. Unlike treatment for the established disease when relatively large increases in bone mass are observed in response to therapy, a preventative strategy may be said to have been effective if the bone mass is maintained.
