Phagocytosis and removal of dead cell debris Screws, Wires, Rods, Nails or other
fixation apparatuses hold both ends
of broken bone together
A fibrin clot (fracture hematoma) forms at the break and
acts as a new network to which new cells can adhere.
Stress on the opposed of the broken bones,
which accelerates osteoblastic activity at the
break leading to hastened normal bone healing
Maintenance of immobilization to
Skin and tissue breakage
facilitate bone healing
Increased nociception
