A client's clavicular fracture has healed in the weeks following a bicycle accident. Which of the following events takes place in the remodeling stage of bone healing?
A) Formation of granulation tissue
B) Development of fibrocartilage that resembles the appearance of the original bone
C) Deposition of mineral salts into the callus
D) Reduction in the size of the callus
Ans: D
Feedback:
Remodeling involves resorption of the excess bony callus that develops in the marrow space and encircles the external aspect of the fracture site. As the callus matures and transmits weight-bearing forces, the portions that are not stressed are resorbed. As a result, the callus is reduced in size until the shape and outline of the bone have been reestablished. Formation of granulation tissue, the development of fibrocartilage, and the deposition of mineral salts all precede the remodeling stage.
