Endochondral ossification is one of the two essential processes during fetal development of the mammalian skeletal system by which bone tissue is produced. Unlike intramembranous ossification, the other process by which bone tissue is produced, cartilage is present during endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is also an essential process during the rudimentary formation of long bones, the growth of the length of long bones, and the natural healing of bone fractures.

Cartilage bone, also known as a cartilaginous bone, refers to a type of bone that originates from pre-existing cartilage. This is part of the process of endochondral ossification, where the cartilage is gradually replaced by bone over time. These bones are typically involved in the growth process and include most of the bones in the body, such as long bones in the arms and legs, and the bones in the spine.
