Abstract
Introduction Fractures are quite common, especially among the elderly.
Conclusion A healthy diet with adequate amounts of both macro- and micronutrients is essential, for both decreasing fracture risk and enhancing the healing process after fracture.
Physiology Of Fracture Healing
Fracture healing involves complex processes of cell and tissue proliferation and differentiation. The second, reparative stage begins about two weeks after the fracture occurs.
This soft, new bone substance eventually hardens into a hard callus as the bone weaves together over a 6- to 12-week time period. The final step of fracture repair is known as the remodeling phase. Woven bone is remodeled into stronger lamellar bone by the orchestrated action of both osteoblast bone formation cells and osteoclast bone resorption cells.
