Week 6 Case Study
1. The bone cells that are involved in generation of bone tissue include
osteogenic, osteoblast, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. Osteogenic cells
are the stem cells, osteoblasts lay down the bone matrix, osteocytes
are retired osteoblasts, and osteoclasts dissolve the bony matrix.
2. The steps of fracture repair are formation of a hematoma, soft callus
formation, hard callus formation, and bone remodeling. (Saladin, 2019)
3. This is important because the epiphyseal plate in long bones is
instrumental in growth. This is where new bone is laid down. Damage
to the epiphyseal plate could lead to premature closure of the
epiphyseal plate, which would affect the height.
4. I believe that a displaced fracture occurred because though there was
no surgical intervention required, casting was necessary.
