Скачать или смотреть Primary Bone Union / fracture healing: Basics Explained

Primary bone union, also known as direct or primary fracture healing, is a process of bone healing that occurs when there is minimal or no movement at the fracture site. It typically occurs when the fractured bone ends are brought into close contact without any significant displacement, and there is rigid immobilization, such as with the use of surgical fixation devices like plates and screws.

In primary bone union, the healing process is characterized by the following key features:

Minimal callus formation: Unlike secondary (or indirect) bone healing, which involves the formation of a visible callus around the fracture site, primary bone union does not rely on callus formation. Instead, there is direct bridging of the bone ends without the need for cartilage or fibrous tissue to form.

Reduced inflammation and less external callus: Because there is minimal movement and disturbance at the fracture site, there is less local inflammation, and the external callus formation is limited. This leads to a more streamlined and less bulky healing process.

Faster healing: Primary bone union often results in quicker healing compared to secondary bone healing, where the callus formation and remodeling stages can take longer.

Smoother bone contour: The bone ends tend to align perfectly in primary bone union, resulting in a smoother and more anatomically accurate bone contour, which can be advantageous for functional and aesthetic reasons.

Less risk of malunion or nonunion: Because the bone ends are in close contact and are appropriately aligned with the use of fixation devices, there is a reduced risk of malunion (misalignment) or nonunion.
Primary bone union is typically achieved through surgical intervention and rigid fixation, making it a common choice in the treatment of certain types of fractures, especially in situations where stability can be restored with minimal disruption of the bone ends. It's important for healthcare professionals to carefully evaluate the nature of the fracture and select the appropriate treatment method to achieve primary bone union when possible, as it can lead to a faster and more predictable recovery for the patient.
