Bone fracture is the most common bone diseases in the world. We should know, bone fracture
healing is basis on periosteal cell and osteocytes regeneration degree in patient bone. The standard
of bone fracture healing is no local tenderness, no longitudinal percussion pain and no local
abnormal activity of fracture area. X-ray should shows fractured lines is blurred with continuous
bone callus through fracture line and other.

2. Bone fracture healing phases.
There are some phases from bone fracture till healing completely. Let’s see one by one.
1. Reactive phase.
1) Bone fracture and inflammatory phases.
2) Granulation tissue formation in fracture area phase.
2. Reparative phase.
1) Cartilage callus formation phase.
2) Lamellar bone deposition phase.
3. Remodeling phase.

3. Influential factor to bone fracture healing.
There are also some influential factor to patient bone healing.
1. General influential factor: age, health status of patient.
2. Local influential factor:
 The type of fracture and the number of fracture parts. You can check the type of bone
fractures from our another article named type of bone fractures, recognize broken
bones. The more complicated it is the hard to healing well.
 The blood supplement status of fracture area. Poor blood supply leads to death of
osteocytes.
 The injury degree of soft tissue in fractured area.
 Embedded soft tissue between fracture area.
3. The impact of treatment methods.
The standard of bone fracture healing.
There are some standard of bone fracture healing .
1. No local tenderness, no longitudinal percussion pain.
2. There is no abnormal activity in local area or patient body.
3. The X-ray shows that the fracture line is blurred and there is a continuous callus through
the fracture line.
4. Function test. Upper limb can raise 1kg without external fixation for several minutes, the
lower limbs can walk 3 minutes continuous unarmed and not less than 30 steps.
5. Continuous observation for 2 weeks without deformation of the fracture area.

4. Method for promoting fracture healing.
1. Avoid smoking.
2. Avoid alcohol and spicy food.
3. No need to take extra calcium food or supplement.
