Mineralization of the callus tissue at days 10, 21, and 42 post‐operation. The flexible fixator stability revealed a significant increase of mineralized callus volume (A) over time that resulted in significantly more mineral tissue content by day 42 compared with the more rigid groups. In contrast, the rigid and semi‐rigid fixation resulted in slightly reduced total callus volume (B) with slight increases in mineralized callus volume fraction (C) and tissue mineral content (D) by day 42, indicating the onset of fracture remodeling.
