∙ 15y agoWhere the bone broke. There are three primary types of bone: woven bone, cortical bone, and cancellous bone. Woven bone is found during embryonic development, during fracture healing (callus formation), and in some pathological states such as hyperparathyroidism and Paget disease. It is composed of randomly arranged collagen bundles and irregularly shaped vascular spaces lined with osteoblasts. Woven bone is normally remodeled and replaced with cortical or cancellous bone.

∙ 15y agoThe order of stages of bone fracture healing is formation of a hematoma, formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, formation of a bony callus, and, finally, bone remodeling.
Fracture bridging occurs during the repair stage of bone healing. It is a process where new bone tissue grows across the fracture gap to stabilize and eventually heal the bone.
Hematoma formation, cellular proliferation, callus formation, ossification, remodeling
The formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by remodeling. During remodeling, the bony callus is gradually replaced by mature bone tissue, restoring the shape and strength of the fractured bone. This process can take several weeks to months to complete.
A bone fracture is never good. A callus on the bone fracture indicates healing has started.
The fibrocartilaginous callus forms during fracture healing to stabilize and bridge the gap between bone ends. It consists of fibrous tissue and cartilage, providing structural support and promoting new bone formation at the fracture site. Over time, the fibrocartilaginous callus remodels into mature bone tissue.
A callus forms as a fracture heals. This is a thickened area of skin that helps protect the healing bone. Crepitus refers to a crackling or popping sound or sensation that may be present when the fractured bone moves.
The healing process typically begins as soon as the fracture occurs. The body responds by forming a blood clot or callus at the site of the fracture to stabilize the bone and initiate the repair process. Depending on the severity of the fracture, visible signs of healing, such as bone remodeling and callus formation, may start to occur within a few weeks.
Bleeding occurs at the fracture site and a blood clot forms.
The age of a fracture can be estimated by factors such as the appearance and characteristics of the fracture edges, the presence of signs of healing like callus formation, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI. However, determining the exact age of a fracture is often challenging and may not always be possible with certainty.
It's called a "callus". It's just how the bone heals.
If you're talking about the the process of creating extra tissue, write "callus formation." If you're describing the tissue itself, you might write "callous formation," but typically you would just use the word "callus." "Callous" is also an adjective that means something akin to cruel.
