Remodeling of bone structure
Skeletal bones go through a certain amount of remodeling. The osteoclast cells remove some of the older bone tissue and release calcium into the bloodstream during bone resorption.
The body requires constant calcium concentrations in our blood. As a result, this procedure will only be carried out when necessary. Calcium should be removed from the bloodstream in some way. Otherwise, having high calcium levels in our blood can be extremely dangerous.
When the body’s calcium levels are high, bone formation increases. This is due to osteoblasts increasing bone production in order to reduce the amount of free calcium in the bloodstream.
It accomplishes this by utilizing free calcium ions to generate new bone tissue. If there are no elevated free calcium levels in the blood. The osteoblasts will then absorb some of the old worn-out bones. Finally, small amounts of calcium are released into the bloodstream.
Bone Reconstruction – Remodeling of bones
Remodeling is a continuous process that occurs in skeletal bones all the time. Even if we are not experiencing any pain or discomfort.
However, if a bone fractures as a result of a traumatic impact. Then a series of events occur that result in the above process occurring inside the body.
It’s as if our bodies detect some kind of damage to the tissues. As a result, more calcium must be flushed from the bloodstream as soon as possible.
This is caused by sharp fragments or broken ends that are forced into adjacent tissue tearing apart tiny vessels in brittle bones. Red blood cells begin to clot around these fragments, forming a hard, irregular structure known as a hematoma sac. Because the clotting process occurs quickly. There is less risk of nerve and tissue damage near the fracture site.
There will be some internal bleeding during this initial stage, but it is usually not severe. As a result, bone healing can begin as soon as the injury occurs. This allows for quicker healing than most people realize.
Because they were already weakened by osteoporosis, these tiny bone fragments may occasionally break off during an impact.
Procedure for Bone Repair – Remodeling of bones
As previously stated, there are several stages that occur during the healing of a broken bone. The first stage is the formation of a hematoma. This is caused by bleeding at the site of the injury.
Because blood vessels in bone tissue have extremely slow blood flow rates, the initial bleeding could last up to two hours. Because of their non-elastic properties. The formation of a hematoma is followed by the recruitment of bone-forming cells to the area.
These are usually different types of osteoblasts from nearby areas. Some of the old bone tissue is dissolved as a result of this. This generates new cortical bone tissue prior to the formation of hard calluses around the fracture site.
These early stages of bone repair take about three months. After that, most people are able to resume their normal activities without incident.
Contributing to the Bones Remodeling Process
Most doctors make mistakes with their prognosis at this point. They simply expect you to walk on a broken leg right away rather than giving it time to heal first!
It’s not a big deal if you need crutches or a cane to get around during this time. In fact, if you don’t put too much strain on the fracture site, you’ll get a lot more healing done.
When the bone is repaired, a thin layer of scar tissue will form over the fracture site. After a few weeks, this new tissue can form. Its color contrasts with the normal white appearance of bone. While this process can take months, these tiny fractures can heal in days or weeks depending on how serious they are and how quickly your body responds to them with its self-healing abilities.

Beyond the Shastra, Science of Remodeling of bones
Surprisingly, some patients have been able to live their entire lives with this type of underdeveloped skeletal structure without experiencing any serious health problems! This level of poor development cannot be explained by anything other than decades of reduced blood flow rates within the long bones, which would have deprived them of the critical supply of nutrients within these red blood cells.
We treat patients suffering from AVN to heal without the need for surgery. Special techniques are used by our doctors to carefully restore bones and joints. While preserving as much healthy tissue from the affected area as possible. In addition, after completing their Avascular Necrosis treatment, we provide our patients with a combination of rejuvenating therapies, so they feel stronger, more flexible, and more energized than ever before.
Follow the don’ts that can hurt your bone and make Avascular Necrosis worse.
