Figure 2. Histology of the fracture, seen both as a vertical crack through the image (white arrows) and as areas of diffusely damaged and disintegrated bone (black horizontal arrows). A resorption cavity with giant detached osteoclasts (black vertical arrows) and new-formed bone with rounded osteocytes can be seen near the fracture. (For higher resolution, see supplementary data).
