  2. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

  3. Reduction (orthopedic surgery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(orthopedic_surgery)

    Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement. [citation needed] This sense of the term "reduction" does not imply any sort of removal or quantitative decrease but rather implies a restoration: re ("back [to initial position]") + ducere ("lead"/"bring"), i.e., "bringing back to ...

  4. Bone malrotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_malrotation

    Bone malrotation refers to the situation that results when a bone heals out of rotational alignment from another bone, or part of bone. It often occurs as the result of a surgical complication after a fracture where intramedullary nailing (IMN) occurs, [ 1 ] especially in the femur and tibial bones, but can also occur genetically at birth.

  5. Ilizarov apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilizarov_apparatus

    The Ilizarov apparatus corrects deformed bones by way of the process of distraction osteogenesis, which reproduces bone tissues. After an initial surgery during which the bone to repair is fractured, and the apparatus is attached to the limb of the patient; once the fracture has been immobilised, the bone tissues begin to grow and eventually ...

  6. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly. Some small or acute fractures can be cured without bone grafting, but the risk is greater for large fractures like compound fractures.

  7. Articular cartilage repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_repair

    This technique/repair requires transplant sections of bone and cartilage. [10] First, the damaged section of bone and cartilage is removed from the joint. Then a new healthy dowel of bone with its cartilage covering is punched out of the same joint and replanted into the hole left from removing the old damaged bone and cartilage.

  8. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    Bone tissue is a dynamic system with active metabolism. [24] Bone tissue remodelling or bone remodeling is a successive chain of old bone matrix removal and its replacement with a new one. [25] These processes make a child’s skeleton grow and extend, while childhood is characterized by bone tissue growth rather than its resorption.

  9. Microfracture surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfracture_surgery

    The surgery is performed by arthroscopy, after the joint is cleaned of calcified cartilage. Through use of an awl, the surgeon creates tiny fractures in the subchondral bone plate. [10] Blood and bone marrow (which contains stem cells) seep out of the fractures, creating a blood clot that releases cartilage-building cells.
