Fracturehealing:Inthepast…
• AnatomicReduc&onandRigidFixa&on– Extensivesurgicaltrauma
• Disturbanceoffracturehematoma(FH)• Devasculariza&onofbonefragments• TraumatosurroundingsoV&ssues
– Interfragmentarystrain– Riskofnonunionorimplantfailure

Fracturehealing
• Goals– Encouragehealing– Stabilizefracture– Minimizepain– Returnappearance
• Length• Rota&on/axialalignment• Jointsurfacealignment
– Earlyreturntofunc&on!!!

Fracturehealing
• Primarybonehealing(directorendosteal)– Rigidfixa&on– Strain<2%– Minimalcallus– Skips&ssuedifferen&a&on– RepairviaHaversianosteones
![Page 6: Innovations in Fracture Repair](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020411/586e008c1a28ab4a368b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Primaryhealing
• Contacthealing– <0.01mm– Strain<2%
• Gaphealing– Gap<1mm– Strain<2%
![Page 7: Innovations in Fracture Repair](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020411/586e008c1a28ab4a368b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Secondaryhealing
• Secondarybonehealing(indirectorendochondral)– Lessstableenvironments– Stepwisechangein&ssue
• Eachstepdecreasesstrain
![Page 8: Innovations in Fracture Repair](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020411/586e008c1a28ab4a368b4ea3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Strain
• Changeinlength/Originallength(ΔL/L)– ie:5µmgapwith0.2µmdisplacement=4%strain(0.2/5)
• Increasedstrainpreventscertain&ssuesfromforming.

Straincont.
• Strainreduc&on– Increasedgaplength(comminu&on,reduc&on,resorp&on)
• ie:7µmgapwith0.2µmdisplacement=2.8%strain(0.2/7)
– Decreaseddisplacement• ie:5µmgapwith0.1µmdisplacement=2%strain(0.1/5)
