Bone Fracture Repair

Bone fracture repair is the process by which the body heals a broken bone. When a bone fractures, the surrounding tissues and blood vessels are often damaged. The body responds by forming a blood clot at the injury site, which becomes a framework for new tissue. Over time, cells called osteoblasts create new bone material. This healing process can take several weeks to months, depending on the fracture type and location. In some cases, medical intervention, such as splinting or surgery, may be required to properly realign the bones and ensure they heal correctly. Proper nutrition supports recovery as well.
