Cellular and physiological processes relevant for bone fracture repair. The expression of osteogenic proteins such as COL10A1 and NOV is stimulated after day 7, supporting alkaline phosphatase activity. hOB is stimulated when the endochondral ossification phase starts, and cartilage is remodeled into woven bone. The results are illustrated as a graphic representation of the bone healing process according to Sfeir [44]. However, the illustration purposefully focuses on the first four weeks after fracture, although the bone remodeling process continues
