Asymmetric Callus Formation at the Fracture Site (IMAGE)
Caption
(A-D) This image shows H&E and Safranin O/Fast Green staining of sections through the fracture site during the healing process (P3–P9). Scale bar, 2 mm. (A'-D') Magnifications of the boxed areas are in the upper panel. The dashed lines separate between the concave side (on the right) and convex side. The red arrow indicates cells appearing as chondrocytes, and black arrows indicate cells appearing as hypertrophic chondrocytes. (A''-D'') As indicted by Safranin O staining (pink-to-red colors), as the healing process progresses the soft callus is increasingly composed of cartilage. Scale bar, 200 mm.
