Questions and Answers

What is hematoma formation?

  • Blood vessels are ruptured when the bone breaks (correct)
  • Formation of blood vessels
  • Reformation of bone cells
  • Formation of a strong permanent patch
  • What happens during fibrocartilage callus formation?

    The break is splinted by fibrocartilage callus, new capillaries grow, and dead tissues are disposed of by phagocytes.

    What characterizes bony callus formation?

    Osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate into the area, and fibrocartilage is replaced by spongy bone.

    What is the process of bone remodeling?

    <p>The bony callus is remodeled in response to mechanical stress, forming a strong permanent patch at the fracture site.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Fracture Healing Steps

    • Hematoma Formation: Blood vessels rupture during a bone fracture, leading to blood-filled swelling; this swelling denies nutrients to bone cells, resulting in cell death.

    • Fibrocartilage Callus Formation: The fracture is stabilized by a fibrocartilage callus; new capillaries grow and phagocytes clear away dead tissue, forming a connective tissue repair scaffold.

    • Bony Callus Formation: Osteoblasts and osteoclasts move into the fracture area where they proliferate; the fibrocartilage is replaced by a spongy bone callus known as the bony callus.

    • Bone Remodeling: The bony callus undergoes remodeling in response to mechanical stress, leading to the formation of a strong, permanent repair at the fracture site.
