Provisional cartilage is removed and the newly formed bone is calcified. In the third bone healing period, the central soft callus region undergoes a calcification process, while chondrocytes become hypertrophic and are partially removed. Osteocytes are more and more incorporated, while the previously built collagen II matrix is progressively degraded. Created with BioRender.com.
