How does the formation of a bony callus assist with the process of bone healing after a fracture? The bony callus is made of spongy bone, which replaces the fibrocartilage callus. Cells forming the bony callus help to splint the broken bone and close the gap. The blood clot created upon the fracture of the bone is removed by phagocytes within the fibrocartilage callus. The presence of a bony callus allows new blood vessels to grow into the damaged site.

Cells forming the bony callus help to splint the broken bone and close the gap.
