A member asked:
What is the bulging deposit that forms around the area of the break during the healing of a fractured bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A callus: The bone with a fracture heals with a callus. That is the bodies attempt to create an internal cast. This is strong enough to allow a broken bone to be out of a cast. This usually takes six weeks in the arms and longer in the legs.
