Normal Bone Growth andDevelopment
Bone is a biphasic connective tissue consisting of an inorganic mineral phase and an organic matrix phase. The hardness of bone allows it to provide several specialized mechanical functions: the protection of internal organs, the scaffold provid­ing points of attachment for other structural ele­ments, and the levers needed to improve the efciency of muscle action. In addition, bone serves two biologic functions: a site for hemato­poietic activity and a reservoir of minerals needed for metabolic interchange.

Embryology

The major components of the musculoskeletal sys­tem originate from the mesoderm layer of the tri­laminar embryo. This “middle layer” is populated

by mesenchymal cells that are totipotent and capa­ble of differentiating into a number of tissues. The sequence of events important in bone growth and development begins with the appearance of the limb bud at 26days after fertilization. It is at that time that a tubular condensation of mesenchyme develops centrally in the limb bud. Discrete areas, called interzones, are seen between these conden­sations and represent the primitive joints, forming in the sixth week of development (Fig.1.1).
The interzone cells form three lines of cells: chondrogenic cells form articular cartilage, syno­vial cells form the capsule and synovium, and central cells form the intra-articular structures. Finally, the formation of joints requires repres­sion of chondrogenesis through apoptosis, thus leaving sites of articulation between two sur­faces, and allowing for motion.
In the limb bud itself, incredibly complex bio­chemical interactions occur between the growing tissue and regulatory transcription factors to con­trol its growth. Growth must occur in three planes: longitudinally (proximal to distal), ante­rior to posterior (ex. radial to ulnar in the hand), and dorsal to ventral (ex. dorsum or palm of the hand) (Fig.1.2).
Unfortunately, due to the complexity of these developmental processes, the limbs are extremely sensitive to anomalies, accounting for numerous limb deformities seen in the general population.
Also during the sixth week of development, the connective tissue, cartilage, and bone begin to

differentiate from the mesenchyme. The center of the limb bud condenses with cells that foretell the skeletal elements, called the chondrogenic core (Fig.1.3).
With elongation of the limb bud through the processes described above, this tissue progresses distally. In the seventh week, this cartilage core is penetrated by a vascular spindle, bringing a rich vascular supply, occurring coincidentally with the necrosis of the central cartilage cells. Once this vascular spindle is established, ner­vous and muscle tissue development follows. Finally, the central portion of the model is popu-

and ossied, immature (woven) bone is formed. Once the central portion of the model is ossied, it is referred to as a primary ossication center, residing within the shaft of the tubular bone (Fig.1.4).
Further ossication of the skeleton occurs via one of two mechanisms: (1) endochondral ossi­cation and (2) intramembranous ossication. While intramembranous ossication is the result of bone forming directly from primitive brous mesenchymal tissue by means of osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), the more common mecha-

nism of ossication is endochondral, which uses a cartilage template. In endochondral ossication, the mesenchyme does not form directly into bone­forming cells but in fact produces cartilage form­ing cells or chondroblasts. After a cartilage model is formed, osteoblasts are brought to the site by blood vessels, which secrete bone matrix and replace the cartilage with bone tissue (Fig.1.5). Aside from the clavicle and at bones of the skull (intramembranous ossication), all other bones of the skeleton are formed in this way.
From the second through the sixth embryonic months, progressive changes and remodeling occur in the tubular bones. First, the medullary canal (centrally) cavitates, leaving a hollow tube of bone with a large mass of cartilage persisting at each end (Fig.1.6).

Within these masses of cartilage, the second­ary ossication centers, or epiphyses, will form at both ends (Fig.1.7).
A cartilage plate (the physis or growth plate) persists between the developing epiph­ysis and metaphysis and is responsible for growth in length (Fig.1.8). The covering of the bone, the periosteum, is primarily respon­sible for growth in girth. In children, the peri­osteum has two layers—an outer fibrous layer and an inner cambium layer, which is osteogenic.

Postnatal Development

The physis and the periosteum continue to function postnatally in the growth and development of the infantile skeleton. Numerous local and systemic factors impact on their activity: vascular, hormonal, and genetic effects all play important roles. In essence, the reworking or remodeling of bone that is already present occurs so that the bone can meet the mechanical and biologic demands placed on it. And this remodeling occurs throughout one’s life, with humans displaying triphasic growth—rapid infan­tile growth, linear childhood growth, and rapid ado­lescent growth, followed by skeletal maturity.

Bone Tissue

Bone, whether it is immature or mature, consists of cells and a biphasic blend of matrix (organic components) and mineral (inorganic compo-
nent) that coexist in a very exact relationship. The matrix phase consists largely of collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are dimeric disaccharides. Both are products of the osteoblast. Calcium hydroxyapatite— Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 specically—is the basic min­eral crystal in bone, contributing mostly to strength in compression. The bulk of calcium in the skeletal reservoir is bound in the crystals of hydroxyapatite.
Osteoblasts, originating from osteoprogeni­tor cells, are bone-forming cells that secrete the osteoid matrix components described. As the osteoid matrix is ossied, the osteoblasts become trapped in the matrix they produce and are then referred to as osteocytes, or mature bone cells, which are rather inert. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells (formed from a fusion of multiple blood monocytes) whose primary function is the degradation and removal of min­eralized bone (Fig.1.9).

Bone Organization

Microscopically, bone is generally described as mature or immature. Mature bone has an ordered lamellar arrangement of Haversian systems and canalicular communications, giving it its classic histologic appearance (Fig.1.10).
Immature bone, in contrast, has a much more random appearance of collagen bers dispersed in a matrix of irregularly spaced cells (Fig.1.11). It is produced rapidly by osteoblasts and “remod­eled” by the local cell population, until the mature lamellar pattern is achieved. Immature bone is seen in the adult skeleton only under pathologic conditions (i.e., fracture callus, osteogenic sar­coma, myositis, etc.).
Macroscopically, the lamellar bone is cong­ured either as dense cortical bone or as delicate spicules called trabeculae (Fig.1.12).

The small trabeculae that make up highly porous cancellous bone serve as supportive struts, collectively providing considerable strength, without greatly increas­ing the bone’s weight. (From Junqueira’s Basic Histology, Chapter 8, Figure8-7). While cortical bone is composed of densely packed Haversian systems, cancellous, or spongy, bone is more loosely organized, giving it room to house the bone marrow

Bone Metabolism

Although the tendency is to think of adult bone as an inert tissue, nothing could be further from the truth. Throughout adult life, there is a constant ebb and ow of bone formation and bone resorp­tion. These two processes are delicately balanced and keep the skeletal mass in a state of equilib­rium. A number of factors, systemic and local, affect bone metabolism and hence impact bone turnover and remodeling.
Perhaps the most well-dened factor is mechanical stress, which forms the basis for the classic Wolff’s law. Simply stated, trabecular, and to a lesser degree cortical, bone remodels along lines of mechanical stress. Bone forms where it is needed to meet mechanical demands and it is resorbed where the need is less. As a result of the piezoelectric effect, where loaded, that bone functions as a transducer, converting mechanical energy from the applied load into
7
electrical energy and a voltage gradient is estab­lished. In turn, this voltage gradient, that is gener­ated, modulates cellular differentiation (i.e., active osteoblasts in areas of high load, or active osteoclasts in areas where bone is not needed).
Central to the process of bone metabolism, and the actual system in which bone formation and resorption occurs is called the RANK/ RANK-ligand/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway. RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B) is a receptor residing on the cell surface of the immature, inactive osteoclast. RANK­ligand is a protein secreted by the activated osteo­blast, which binds RANK and stimulates maturation of the osteoclast, and affects bone resorption. OPG, on the other hand, while also produced by osteoblasts, functions as a decoy receptor for RANK-ligand. Produced as a means to inhibit bone resorption, OPG binds and sequesters RANK-ligand, inhibiting activation of osteoclasts, and “protecting bone.” Thus, as can be inferred, osteoclast function relies on activa­tion from osteoblasts, thus coupling these two processes, and balancing the process of bone metabolism (Fig.1.13).
Please see the following YouTube link (https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwCkyf0lQwo&t= 231s) for video explanation of the RANK/
RANK-ligand/OPG pathway.
Clinical implications of the RANK-RANK­ligand-OPG system abound. Osteolytic bone metastases, or cancer that has spread to the bones, has been found to be mediated largely by this sys­tem, with RANK-ligand production by oncologic cells as the presumed mechanism. In addition, research has indicated that defects in this system play a role in the pathogenesis of many metabolic bone diseases, including osteoporosis (uncon­trolled bone resorption), osteopetrosis (absence of bone resorption), and Paget’s disease (exces­sive, coupled bone remodeling producing abnor­mal quality bone).

Bone Growth Factors

Much recent research has been aimed at under­standing the molecular mechanisms involved in bone growth, and many growth factors have since been described. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs), for example, are the bone-forming fac­tors originating from the demineralized bone products used in surgical procedures. BMPs use a complex network of cell receptors to stimulate differentiation of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, and for this reason, have become quite popular in the eld of orthopedic surgery. And while BMPs are the most main­stream, they are not alone in their ability to induce osteogenic differentiation—RUNX2 and WNT-Beta Catenin are just a few of the other well-known growth factors affecting bone forma­tion. SOX9, on the other hand, is a chondrogenic growth factor, thus inducing the growth of carti­lage. At this time, there remains much to learn about the complex interplay of these growth fac-
tors and both normal growth and pathological states of the musculoskeletal system.

Bone Circulation

Circulation of blood to the bones is critical in nor­mal development as well as in pathological pro­cesses and healing of the musculoskeletal system and originates from three sources: (1) nutrient artery system, (2) periosteal system, and (3) metaphyseal­epiphyseal system. The nutrient artery system is referred to as a high-pressure system, fed from direct branches of major named arteries, and enter­ing the medullary canal of the bone through the cor­tex of the diaphysis of long bones. The periosteal system, in contrast, is a low-pressure system, sup­plying the outer aspect of the bone (Fig. 1.14). Finally, the metaphyseal- epiphyseal system is a net­work of arteries surrounding the joints, which also contributes circulation to the growth plate in chil­dren via the specially-named perichondral arteries.
