During normal healing, bony deposits develop in between and around the broken ends of a fractured bone; this is known as a bone callus. It is a fibrous and cartilaginous material that forms a bridge between the fractured bone parts. The cells of the bone callus eventually become inactive, and subside and lie in the matrix of the newly formed bone. The bone callus can be seen on a radiograph within 7 to 10 days of the injury, whereas the soft callus transforms into a hard callus in several weeks.
