DESCRIBE DISEASE PROCESS AFFECTING PATIENT

(INCLUDE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DISEASE PROCESS)
Most common fall-related injury resulting in being hosptilizied which is a leading cause of disability among
older adults. Bone fracture, the periosteum an blood vessels in the marrow, cortex, and surrounding soft
tissues are disrupted resulting in bleeding from the damaged ends of the bone and the neighboring tissue.
Clot formation occurs and bone tissue immediately adjacent to the fracture dies causing an inflammatory
response where the vascular tissue increases blood flow to the entire bone. Bone-forming cells in the
periosteum, endosteum, and marrow are activated to produce subperiosteal procallus along the outer surface
of the shaft and over the broken ends of the bone. Collagen and matrix, which become mineralized to form
callus, are synthesized by osteoblasts within the procallus. During the repair process, remodeling occurs;
unnecessary callus is resorbed, and trabeculae form along stress lines. -XNew bone, not scar tissue, forms
over the healed fracture
