Vascular ingrowth occurs simultaneously with collagen matrix formation‚ and consequently osteoid secretion and mineralization occur. These processes result in new soft callus formation around the defect site (bony callus formation stage) [31-33]. In

These waves usually produce an image on-screen for a radiologist in order to determine internal body organs and functionality status; however‚ in therapeutic
