ORTHOPAEDIC POSTING
Introduction to orthopaedic musculoskeletal examination is made at the second year of the preclinical year. The students already have the
basic knowledge of history taking and will be able to do general physical examination. Since orthopaedics is considered as a speciality posting,
the students are only expected to know the general principles involving the management of common orthopaedic problems. The first week of
the posting will be focusing on techniques of orthopaedic examination and history taking. The core knowledge is divided into 7 parts: TRAUMA,
INFECTION, METABOLISM & INFLAMMATORY, DEGENERATIVE, TUMOUR and CONGENITAL.

Seminar
21
Compare and contrast the two types of bone formation: intramembranous and endochondral ossification.
Compare the structure, functions, and locations of the three kinds of cartilage tissue.
Describe the functions of the bony skeleton and of bone tissue.
Describe the gross anatomy of a typical long bone and a typical flat bone.
Describe the histology of compact and spongy bone.
Describe the structural components of bone tissue and the functions of its organic and inorganic parts.
Describe the types of markings found on bones
Differentiate the cells found in bone tissue and their functions.
Explain how bones withstand tension and compression.
Stages of bone healing
Normal & abnormal bone healing
Types of bone healing (primary & secondary intention)
Radiographic Determinants of Healing: Non-union (atrophic & hypertrophic) Mal-union, Delayed union
Describe the balance between mechanical and biological factors in fracture healing (Factor affecting bone healing)
Bone Turnover
Able to describe how modeling & remodeling contribute to the phases of skeletal development & maintenance
Understand how metabolic bone disease is a result of uncoupling of the normal remodeling process.
Comprehend how changes in bone density (or mass) reflect the variations in modeling and remodeling.
Osteoporosis
Radiographs, bone densitometry and bone histomorphometry all can diagnose osteopenia. Appraise the relative merits and
disadvantages of these three techniques in the clinical assessment of osteopenia.
Hormonal regulation of mineral balance depends primarily upon Diagram the expected changes PTH, 1,25 (OH)2 (calcitriol),
vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and calcitonin and resultant effects on skeletal Ca balance in
Relate the major available treatments for osteoporosis to their effects on the remodeling process.
22
Describe the beneficial effects of estrogen at the level of the kidney, gut and bone that may lead to a reduction in osteoporosis
risk in a postmenopausal woman.
You have recently been elected health czar on your sole campaign promise to wipeout osteoporosis. What are the major public
health recommendations of your platform? Justify each plank of your platform with your understanding of skeletal physiology.
Osteomalacia
Characterize the clinical presentation of osteomalacia and differentiate it from that of osteoporosis.
Disorders of skeletal mineralization are lumped into the general category of osteomalacia. However, rickets is a term reserved for
a particular clinical situation. Why?
Normal skeletal mineralization relies on an adequate supply of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus. List two clinical situations in
which deficiencies in each of these critical elements can develop.
Provide a clinical situation for the use of each form of vitamin D and explain why the use of the other two forms of vitamin D
would be inappropriate in the given setting.
