Callus

The tissue that forms between and around fractured bone segments to maintain structural integrity and facilitate bone regeneration.


An undifferentiated cluster of plant cells that is a first step in regeneration of plants from tissue culture.


Wound tissue, parenchyma tissue formed on or below a wounded surface.


A mass of blood and granulation tissue, containing bone-forming cells, that forms around the bone ends following a fracture. Callus formation is an essential part of the process of healthy union in a fractured bone. The callus, which is visible on X-ray as a slightly opaque area, eventually becomes calcified and modeled.


A circumscribed thickening and hypertrophy of the homy layer of the skin. It may be oval or elongated, gray or brown, slightly elevated, with a smooth burnished surface. It appears on the flexor surfaces of hands and feet and is caused by friction, pressure, or other irritation.


Thickening of the skin caused by continued, repeated pressure on any part of the skin,  specially the hands and feet.


The parenchymal tissue that originates from cambium and forms due to injury, infection caused by microorganisms, and other related factors.


Thickened skin, a result of persistent friction or irritation over an extended period, manifests as a consequence.


The fresh bone formed at a fracture location, connecting the separated portions of a fractured bone.
