The bone healing process begins after the initial injury or fracture. Then, the bleeding and inflammation that develop at the site of the fracture initiate the inflammatory phase. Calcium is deposited during the inflammatory phase and a callus forms in the reparative phase. Collagen forms and calcium deposition continues. During the remodeling phase, excess callus is removed and new bone is laid down along the fracture line. The fracture site calcifies and the bone reunites.

Answer would be 3, then 1, 2, then four.
