Fracture classification or the types of bone fracture is a frequently asked topic in the various medical and surgical exams. In this video we have briefly described the fracture classification and the mechanisms.

This video is the first in the "Osteology for Viva" series . Here we have discussed the Osteology pearls for clavicle, its parts, muscle and ligaments attachments, the fracture classification and few key points about the bone. This video is ideal for revising the osteology day before the exam. These are the minimum points that a student must practice before the viva exams. All the best :)

This video describes the basics of osteotomy that are essential for deciding the management of various deformities in the clinics and also important as a student's point of view for exams and to understand the concept behind various osteotomies.

An osteoclast is a type of bone cell that resorbs bone tissue . This function is critical in the maintenance and repair of compact bones in the mammalian skeleton. Kolliker discovered osteoclasts in 1873 . An osteoclast is a large multinucleated cell and human osteoclasts on bone typically have five  nuclei and are about 15 0-200 μm in diameter. In bone, osteoclasts are found in pits in the bone surface, which are called resorption bays, or  Howship's Lacunae. Osteoclasts are characterized by a cytoplasm with a homogeneous, "foamy" appearance. This appearance is due to a high concentration of vesicles and vacuoles. These vacuoles include lysosomes filled with acid phophatase. This permits characterization of Osteoclasts by their staining for high expression of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K . Osteoclast rough endoplasmic reticulum is sparse, and the Golgi complex is extensive. Osteoclasts, ...

Some wounds are not amenable to management by primary, delayed primary, or secondary closure. In such cases skin grafts can be used for secure wound coverage Definition -  A skin graft is a piece of skin taken from one part of the body , detached from its blood supply, and then transferred to another part of the body that allows its re-incorporation. Early adhesion of the graft is due to fibrin clot that forms within minutes after skin transfer The process of a graft being accepted at the recipient site is called ‘ Take ’. Steps of Graft uptake- Imbibition (24–48 h)— During this stage, the graft relies on nutrients reaching it by passive means  from the recipient bed . The graft increases in weight and volume.  Inosculation —Some vascularity is re-established by blood vessels in the recipient bed connecting to vessels in the graft dermis. Revascularization —after 4–7 days, new vessels form due to host endothelium ingrowth into t...

Incidence of DVT -  1 person per 1,000 population per year. It is a relatively common complication of trauma . About 20% of multiply injured patients die as a result of a DVT. ✫ It is also an important  complications after THA (total hip arthroplasty) & TKA (total knee artheoplasty) , possibly resulting in life- threatening PE (Pulmonary Embolism).  Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolic Disease Proximal thrombi, in the popliteal vein and above (less common) , has higher  risk of PE than thrombi in calf veins (more common) Femoral or tibial diaphyseal fractures -> higher risk of DVT Regional anesthesia is associated with reduced the incidence of DVT  from 73% to 23% compared with general anesthesia.  Etiology Venous thrombi are mainly composed of fibrin & erythrocytes and also  platelets and leucocytes . They usually form in venous...

Damage Control Orthopaedics (DCO) is an approach that contains and stabilizes orthopaedic injuries so that the patient's overall physiology can improve. Its purpose is to avoid worsening of the patient's condition by the “ second hit ” of a major orthopaedic procedure and to delay definitive fracture repair until a time when the overall condition of the patient is optimized. Minimally invasive surgical techniques , such as external fixation , are used initially. The initial trauma represents the “ first hit ”.  Damage control focuses on Control of haemorrhage , Management of soft-tissue injury , and Achievement of provisional fracture stability , While avoiding additional insults to the patient. Physiology Of Damage Control Orthopaedics Traumatic injury leads to systemic inflammation ( Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome ) followed by a period of recovery . Severe inflammati...
