Fracture healing in children occurs at a much faster rate than in adults. Fractures heal by forming callus, which follows three overlapping phases: inflammatory, reparative and remodelling. Callus is very weak in the first 4 to 6 weeks of the healing process and requires adequate protection in the form of bracing or internal fixation. Eventually, the callus ossifies, forming a bridge of woven bone between the fracture fragments. Alternatively, if proper immobilization is not used, ossification of the callus may not occur, and an unstable fibrous union may develop instead. Fracture healing is completed during the remodeling stage in which the healing bone is restored to its original shape, structure, and mechanical strength. Remodeling of the bone occurs slowly over months to years. Bone is generally laid down where it is needed and resorbed from where it is not needed. Adequate strength is typically achieved in 3 to 6 months.
