What happens to fractured bones?

Question

When someone does fracture a bone, what happens? I’m meaning when there’s no surgery needed and things. The fractured part must go somewhere, or?

In: Biology

Answer 1

There are cells called Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts that replicate (make new cells), and mend the broken area. The fractured part becomes part of the new structure and are incorporated into the new framework. The human body is amazing in its resiliency and ability to adapt.
