What are phases of bone fructure
 
Inflammatory stage:
The first phase of the fracture healing process starts the moment after bone breaks. At this point, the body goes into action right away. A small blood clot, known as a hematoma, forms around the fracture site which then attracts molecules called white cells. White cells form part of the body’s defense system. Along with many other proteins, they cause the

  • swelling,
  • redness, and
  • inflammation
that we see and feel right after an injury. Although inflammation causes pain, it also triggers the growth of new blood vessels as well as the recruitment of other proteins. This trigger will go on to help with the bone building process.

Reparative stage:
The second phase of bone healing is where the real business of healing takes place. It is now approximately two weeks after the fracture has occurred and the worst of the original pain has probably gone away. The site of the fracture still feels weak and a bit tender. At this point, the tissues in the area are working overtime to form into a soft callus. This callus lays the groundwork for new bone formation. This phase is probably the most important because it lays the foundation for new bone. This phase can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to be complete.

Remodeling stage:
In the last phase, the callus matures and remodels into what we recognize as strong, healthy highly-organized bone.

From start to finish, the whole process of the 3 stages of fracture healing can take anywhere from a few months to years depending on many different factors. However, the length of healing depends upon things like

  • the site of the injury,
  • your general health, and
  • nutritional status.
