1. Strengthening of the new bone at the site of the fracture.
2. Reabsorption of excess new bone at the site of the callus.
3. Prudent application of stress and weight to the affected bone.
Rationale: Strengthening of the new bone at the site of the fracture. The remodeling process involves reabsorption of the excess callus in the marrow space and the external aspect of the fracture. The process is directed by mechanical stress and weight bearing, causing the bone to become stronger in relation to its function. Reabsorption of excess new bone at the site of the callus. The remodeling process involves reabsorption of the excess callus in the marrow space and the external aspect of the fracture. Prudent application of stress and weight to the affected bone. The remodeling process is directed by mechanical stress and weight bearing, causing the bone to become stronger in relation to its function. Creation of the cartilage collar at the fracture sight. A cartilage collar does form, but this does not occur in the remodeling phase. Granulation of new bone tissue to form the connective bridge. Granulation is responsible for the formation of a connective bridge, but this does not occur in the remodeling phase.
