The grating sound heard when the ends of a broken bone move together is called "crepitus." This sound can occur due to the friction between the broken bone surfaces or the movement of surrounding tissues. Crepitus is often associated with fractures and can be an indicator of underlying injury.
Crepitation also known as crepitus is the sound heard when the ends of a broken bone move together.
If you truly have a fracture, the bone is broken. Rubbing it can cause the ends of the broken bone to damage tissue near it. That is why fractures are kept from moving by a cast or splint.
it is a fracture in which the two ends of the broken bone are separated from one another

Nonsurgical realignment of broken bone ends involves manipulating the bone fragments back into their proper position without surgery. Splinting or casting may then be used to immobilize the bone in the correct alignment, allowing it to heal properly. This conservative approach can be effective for certain types of fractures, but careful monitoring by a healthcare professional is essential to ensure proper healing.
cartilaginous callus
The medical term is "closed reduction." This procedure involves aligning the broken ends of a fracture without the need for surgery. It is typically done manually or with traction.
Casting for broken bones involves wrapping a hard material around the injured area to keep it stable and aligned, allowing the bone to heal properly. The cast supports the bone, reduces movement, and protects it from further injury. This immobilization helps the bone to heal by allowing new bone tissue to form and the broken ends to reconnect.
If somebody continues to try to walk, having broken an ankle, the result will be further injury to the muscles, bone ends, blood vessels, cartilage, and skin surrounding the fractured bone. Not a pretty thought. That's one reason why we IMMOBILIZE the injured area in fractures.
Osteoblasts are bone cells responsible for producing new bone tissue during the healing process of a broken bone. They lay down new bone matrix that eventually hardens to form a callus, which bridges the gap between the broken bone ends.
