Soft callus formation or splint from osteoblast occurs in Stage 3 of healing for fractures. Osteoclasts are present to clean up dead bone and debris. Fibrous immature bone or woven bone calcify and movement at the fractured ends decrease. Union at ends occur at 4 weeks. However, because bone is not mature it is unable to withstand stress. Fracture site is tender. At this stage, cast is removed in non-weight bearing limbs. This stage is known as ______ formation.

Remodeling of the outer surface and reshaping of marrow space occurs through osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity in Stage 5 of healing for fractures. The bone is strengthened and thickened along the lines of stress (Wolff's law). Surplus of bone formed during the healing process is gradually removed and eventually the bone structure appears very similar to the original. This process is known as ______.

Compartment Syndrome - swelling with edema, hematoma, or inflammation increases pressure in fascial compartment. Leads to cycle of decrease circulation (ischemia) of muscles in compartment then more edema to the point of muscle and nervous tissue necrosis within the compartment. Loose cast syndrome- cast too loose rubs on bony prominence causing skin abrasion. Skin necrosis can develop. Late (Few weeks to several to several years): Delayed union-bones do not unite in time frame due to inadequate circulation, excessive traction, infection, and insufficient splint. Can also angulate if stress is placed on it. Non-union-failure of bone to heal before consolidation process finishes; due to excessive traction, bone loss, bone/soft tissue infection. Mal-union-deformity occurs due to improper alignment of bone ends when fracture is reduced or displaced of ends in cast. Leads to altered biomechanics, which can further lead to tendonitis, bursitis, OA, and painful ROM. This process is known as ______.
