Case Study 8.6 Total points: --/6 Attempts left: 1 Let's examine the greenstick fracture in more depth. Kenan was playing soccer when an opponent struck his calf from the lateral side while trying to steal the ball. Kenan sustained a greenstick fracture on his fibula. At the emergency room, the doctor set the bone and placed him in a hard cast. The doctor explained that Kenan's fracture would heal in four stages according to the following timeline: Stage 1 (days 1-5): hematoma formation Stage 2 (days 5-11): fibrocartilage callus formation Stage 3 (days 11-28): bony callus formation Stage 4 (days 18-months ): bone remodeling 3. In stage 1, a hematoma forms where the bone breaks. A hematoma is a bruise that forms when blood pools after a break in the structure of a blood vessel. Where are the broken blood vessels found in compact bone that are leaking the blocid that farme the hematoma?
