When a bone is healing from a fracture what is happening?

When a bone heals from a fracture, the body initiates a complex healing process that typically occurs in three stages: inflammation, repair, and remodeling. Initially, a hematoma forms at the fracture site, followed by the formation of a soft callus made of cartilage and connective tissue. This is then replaced by a hard callus of new bone tissue, which eventually undergoes remodeling to restore the bone's original shape and strength. Throughout this process, various cells, including osteoblasts and osteoclasts, play crucial roles in bone formation and resorption.
