Your bone just broke.
Here’s what happens in the next 12 weeks!
Minute 1: The break triggers instant bleeding around the fracture your body forms a blood clot (hematoma) to seal the area.
Days 1-7: Inflammation rushes in. Cells clear out damaged tissue and start laying the foundation for repair.
Weeks 2-3: A “soft callus” forms its a soft, flexible tissue bridging the broken ends together.
Weeks 3-6: The soft callus hardens into a “bony callus” ,real bone starts replacing it.
Weeks 6-12+: Remodeling phase = your bone reshapes itself back to its original strength, sometimes even stronger at the break site.
Your body is literally rebuilding itself from the inside out.
