Question

A bone can undergo fracture can a cartilage too be fractured. Give reason. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A fracture is a breach in the structural continuity of the bone cortex, with a degree of injury to the surrounding soft tissues. Following the fracture, secondary healing begins, which consists of four steps:

Hematoma formation

Fibrocartilaginous callus formation

Bony callus formation

Bone remodeling

Failed or delayed healing can affect up to 10% of all fractures and can be due to various factors like comminution, infection, tumor, and disrupted vascular supply. During this article, we will work through each of these steps in order and detail before then touching on primary healing, factors affecting fracture healing, and methods of stimulation of fracture healing.[1][2]
