Question

13 there are four stages in the healing of bone fracture. which of the following best explains the sequence of these stages? a hematoma formation, bony callus formation, cartilage formation, bone remodeling b hematoma formation, cartilage formation, bony callus formation, bone remodeling c hematoma formation, bony callus formation, bone remodeling, cartilage formation, d bony callus formation, cartilage formation, bone remodeling, hematoma formation

Explanation:

When a bone fractures, the first stage is hematoma formation (blood clot forms at the fracture site). Then, cartilage (fibrocartilage callus) forms to connect the broken bone ends. After that, bony callus (hard callus made of bone tissue) replaces the fibrocartilage callus. Finally, bone remodeling occurs where the bone is reshaped and remodeled to its original (or close - to - original) form.

Answer:

B. Hematoma formation, Cartilage formation, Bony callus formation, Bone remodeling
