New cards

  1. Fracture hematoma forms (blood clot)

  2. Internal and external calli form (phagocytic cells start cleanup, fibroblasts release collagen, chondrocytes secrete cartilage = soft callous is formed)

  3. Cartilage of calli is replaced by trabecular bone (osteoblasts turn the cartilage into spongy bone)

  4. Remodeling occurs (spongy bone to normal bone)
