PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Soon after a fracture occurs, the body acts to protect the injured area, and forms a protective blood clot and callus around the fracture. New “threads” of bone cells start to grow on both sides of the fracture line. These threads grow toward each other. The fracture closes and the callus is absorbed.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. What happens to the cells at the edges of an injury when a cut in the skin or a break in a bone occurs? The cells at the edges of the injury are stimulated to divide rapidly.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transverse fracture occurs when a bone breaks at a 90-degree angle to the long axis of the bone. This typically occurs when a blow transmits a large amount of force directly perpendicular to the bone. Transverse fractures require an orthopedic trauma surgeon.

Detailed explanation-4: -A fracture is a break in a bone that occurs from either a quick, one-time injury, known as an acute fracture, or from repeated stress, known as a stress fracture.
