Rationale 1: Calcium is deposited during the inflammatory phase and a callus forms in the reparative phase. Collagen forms and calcium deposition continues.
Rationale 2: The bone healing process begins after the initial injury or fracture.
Rationale 3: The bleeding and inflammation that develop at the site of the fracture initiate the inflammatory phase.
Rationale 4: During the remodeling phase, excess callus is removed and new bone is laid down along the fracture line. The fracture site calcifies and the bone reunites.
