Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After the formation of a hematoma,a fibrin meshwork forms.Osteoblasts invade the fibrin meshwork,and blood vessels develop to build collagen.After several days,calcium deposits may form in the granulation tissue.These deposits eventually form new bone,known as callus.Within the callus,cartilage cells develop a temporary semirigid tissue that helps stabilize the bone fragments.The callus is immature bone that is remodeled by new connective tissue cells (osteoblasts)of the periosteum and the inner membrane of the bone cavity.Through this process,mature bone is formed,excess callus is resorbed,and trabecular bone is placed.
