When a bone breaks what consumes the dead bone cell tissues?

When a bone breaks, the body initiates a process called bone remodeling. Osteoclasts are cells that break down and remove the damaged bone tissue, while osteoblasts come in to build new bone tissue to repair the fracture. This process helps to remodel and strengthen the bone at the site of the break.
