What forms as a fracture heals?
Bleeding occurs at the fracture site and a blood clot forms.
What is the difference between a fracture hematoma and a hematoma?
A hematoma is a mass of clotted blood that forms at an injury site. A fracture hematoma is a clot resulting from a break in a blood vessel within the bone, the marrow space, the periosteum, or the surrounding tissue associated with a bone fracture.
What other names are cardiac blood pool scans known by?
A cardiac blood pool scan is sometimes called equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography or gated (synchronized) cardiac blood pool imaging.
Is a stress fracture an acute or chronic injury?
A stress fracture is considered a chronic injury as it develops over time due to repetitive stress on the bone rather than a sudden trauma. It typically occurs as a result of overuse or repetitive activity without allowing the bone enough time to heal.
The first major event of fracture healing?
Hematoma formation (when blood rushes from the broken vessels to form a clot) is the first step of fracture healing.
What is the collective noun of blood?

What is the first event of fracture healing?
The first event of fracture healing is the formation of a blood clot at the site of the fracture. This initiates the inflammatory response and brings in cells that will start the process of repairing the bone.
What level in the blood may be increased in osteomalacia and fracture healing?
Alkaline phosphatase is increased in osteoblastic bone tumors, rickets, osteomalacia, and during fracture healing. Levels can be determined through an alkaline phosphatase blood test.
Condition where a blood clot and inflammation develops in veins?
thrombocythemia
In formation of blood cells the megakaryoblast ultimately develops into?
The megakaryoblast undergoes endomitoses (the nucleus becomes polyploid and the cell does not divide) and ultimately develops into megakaryocyte. The successive stages are Megakaryoblast -> Promegakaryocyte -> Megakaryocyte Megakaryocyte produces thrombocytes, that is fragments of megakraryocyte' cytoplasm.
What is normally found at a fracture hematoma?
Dead bone, Bone fragments and blood clot
