Abstract
The histologic features of bone callus after a traumatic fracture in a patient with osteopetrosis are presented. The fracture callus develop s in stages that are apparently normal. The tissue is initially rich i n bone-forming cells and vessels. One year later, however, unlike matu re osteopetrotic bone, the tissue shows no Haversian organization.
