Bone Healing

Bone healing is the body's natural process of repairing fractured or damaged bones. It occurs in stages: initially, a blood clot forms to shield the break. Next, cells called osteoblasts create new bone tissue, while others known as osteoclasts help remove damaged tissue. This forms a callus over the break, which eventually hardens into new bone. Over time, the bone remodels, regaining its original strength and shape. Factors like age, nutrition, and overall health can influence the healing process, making timely medical attention important for optimal recovery.
