Learn How Broken Bones Heal!

The video explains the process of how broken bones heal. It starts with the body's initial response to a fracture, which includes swelling and clot formation to protect the area. Over time, a soft callus forms, which later hardens into a woven bone structure. Eventually, this is replaced by regular bone, completing the healing process in about six weeks.

What is the body's first response to a broken bone?

• Swelling and blood clot formation

• Formation of a hard callus

• Muscle contraction around the area

• Immediate bone remodeling

What is the purpose of the soft callus that forms around a broken bone?

• To provide a permanent solution

• To replace the blood clot

• To act as a temporary bandage

• To secure the broken bone initially

How does the soft callus change over time?

• It remains unchanged

• It dissolves completely

• It turns into a hard callus

• It becomes a blood clot

What happens to the hard callus during the final stage of bone healing?

• It becomes a permanent structure

• It is absorbed by the body

• It turns back into a soft callus

• It is replaced by regular bone

Approximately how long does it take for a broken bone to fully heal?

• Six weeks

• Four weeks

• Two weeks

• Eight weeks
