What is the purpose of remodelling in fracture repair?

______ can lead to excessive blood loss and hypovolaemic shock.

The restorative phase is characterized by the formation of ______.

The inflammatory phase is related to the ______ that has just occurred.

At the end of the process - the ends of the ______ are enveloped by fusiformis known as a callus – similar to scars found on skin after healing by secondary intention

The restorative soft callus phase is characterized by the formation of a relatively soft callus that resembles hyper cellular ______ tissue.

During the remodelling phase, the bony hard callus will start to ______, depending on the function of the limb and how the fracture is set.

______ is a fracture in the femur - you can see that there is a proximal distal fracture. We can fix this with a dynamic compression plate as seen in the second image.

During first intention healing, it is important ______ is maintained and not excessively damaged - especially the interosseous supply.

Second intention healing is produced when ______ occur: • Late treatment – hasn't been managed early on - may already have soft callus formation occurring

Once it has produced a hard callus and stabilise the site then we see ______.
