When a bone is broken, the body forms a blood clot around the area, which then turns into a soft callus of cartilage and collagen to stabilize the bone. Osteoblasts then create new bone tissue to replace the callus, which eventually forms a hard callus and remodels into strong, mature bone over time. Physical therapy may also be needed to regain full function.
