Correctly order the following steps of fracture repair, placing a 1 by the first step, a 2 by the second step, and so on.

Osteoblasts in the periosteum lay down a bone callus of primary bone.

The bone callus is remodeled and replaced with secondary bone.

Fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and blood vessels enter the clot, and the soft callus begins to bridge the gap between bone fragments.
