Fracture
The fibrocartilaginous callus forms when:
Osteoblasts and fibroblasts migrate to the
fracture and begin reconstructing the bone
Fibroblasts secrete collagen fibers that
connect broken bone ends
Osteoblasts begin forming spongy bone
Osteoblasts furthest from capillaries secrete
an externally bulging cartilaginous matrix that
later calcifies
