Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The process of the bone repair comprises the formation of the bone callus. The osteoblasts which are the bone forming cells helps in forming the definitive callus around the fractured ends. The fibrocartilage callus forms due to the formation of the chondroblasts and the fibroblasts. This formation occurs on a temporary basis at the area of the fractured bones. The formation of the callus is faster in children as compared to the adults.
