cysts
osteogenesis imperfecta

Question 2

In unstable conditions (e.g. Plaster of Paris), fracture repair occurs in four phases;

1. ? (1-? days): the fracture ends ?, leading to ?
   formation around the fracture site and an ? response creating a
   ? & ? network.
2. ? Callus (?-3 weeks): As ? at the fracture ends is reduced, the vascular network ? and ? tissue replaces the ?.
   ? ? bone formation begins.

Question 3

In unstable conditions (e.g. Plaster of Paris), fracture repair occurs in four phases;

3. Hard ? (1-? months): ? of the soft ? takes over 1-?
   months, forming ? calcified tissue.
4. ?: once the fracture is solidly ?, ? takes place over
   the following months to years, with the new ? bone being replaced by
   ? bone, and the ? ? being restored.
