Secondary bone healing: initial response after diaphyseal fracture. Periosteum remains intact over point of impact but is torn on opposite side. Hematoma forms on the periosteum and between fracture fragments. Bone ends and marrow adjacent to fracture site are necrotic. Reproduced from Cruess, R., Dumont, J. (1975). Fracture healing. Canadian Journal of Surgery, 18, 403–13.
