-bone breaks
-blood vessels tear
-blood clots (hematoma)- tissues dialate, swell and inflame.
-After a few days/weeks, osteoblasts originating from periosteum invade hematoma and divide close to the new blood vessels, building spongy bone nearby.
-granulation tissue develops.
-Fibroblasts produce masses of fibrocartilage.
-Phagocytic cells remove blood clot and damanged cells. Osteoclasts aid in cleaning up bone fragments/debris.
-Fibrocartilage fills gap between ends of broken bones=callus (and will be replaced by bone tissue)
-Typically more bone is produced at site of healing fracture.....if broken bones are close together, healing is more rapid than far apart.
