5. What are similarities in the healing process of bone compared to skin described on p.136-137?
(1) If blood vessels in the dermis are ruptured, a blood clot will form.
(2) Inflammation develops in the site of the injury.
(3) Highly vascular cellular fibrous connective tissue (granulation tissue) forms temporarily at the site of the injury.
(4) Parenchymal repair occurs.

7. the stages of fracture repair.
For Fracture Repair Figures. See these figures for more details.
Fracture produces hematoma - no repair at this point.
Soft / fibrocatilaginous callus forms - repair has begun.
Hard / bony callus forms - repair is well along.
Healed bone has remodeled - repair is complete.
