The correct sequence of steps in the repair of a bone fracture is fracture hematoma, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodeling. The fracture hematoma is the blood clot that forms at the site of the fracture. Fibrocartilaginous callus forms as the body tries to stabilize the broken bone by forming connective tissue. Bony callus then forms as osteoblasts create new bone tissue. Finally, bone remodeling occurs as the newly formed bone tissue is reshaped to its original form. Option E presents the correct sequence of these steps.
