d
Bone remodelling, ossification, restructuring, repair
QuestionChoice
This is the correct answer. A fibrin clot is formed at the site of the fracture, followed by soft callus formation whereby cartilage and collagen unite. After this, a hard callus forms as the cartilage becomes woven bone through ossification. Finally, woven bone is converted into lamellar bone during the bone remodelling stage.
