âSherpa lining,â in the garment industry, refers to a polyester lining with a deep pile and large, fuzzy ânapsâ that give it a bumpy texture. The overall effect is similar to real sheepâs wool, but sherpa lining is lighter weight, much less bulky, and faster-drying. Itâs also considerably cheaper, and avoids any ethical concerns about animal products.
A broken bone, or fracture, happens when excessive force applied to your bone causes it to break or shatter. Some fractures break the bone completely, while others just cause a crack in the bone. Fracture types vary depending on the circumstances of your injury and the amount of force applied to the bone. A simple fracture happens when the bone is broken into two pieces. 2  An open or compound fracture happens when a piece of bone protrudes through your skin or if the force of the injury breaks the skin. 3  A closed fracture happens when the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
All broken bones go through the same healing process. This is true whether a bone has been cut as part of a surgical procedure or fractured through an injury. The bone healing process has three overlapping stages: inflammation, bone production and bone remodeling. Inflammation starts immediately after the bone is fractured and lasts for several days. When the bone is fractured, there is bleeding into the area, leading to inflammation and clotting of blood at the fracture site. This provides the initial structural stability and framework for producing new bone.
