Mechanisms of fracture healing

Abstract

Relevance: In cases of heterogeneous conditions, a number of overlapping interrelationships arise, which are discussed in the context of pathological processes – for example, types of bone necrosis and fracture healing, bone grafts and bone fragments detached at the moment of trauma, or surgical joint replacement. The aim of this study: To explore the processes involved in fracture healing. Materials and Methods: Theoretical: review and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; Practical: original research. Results: Fractures occur due to mechanical forces applied to the bone. It is well known, for example, that a simple spiral fracture of the tibial diaphysis in two-thirds of cases is caused by accidents during skiing or falls at home or on the street. In contrast, transverse fractures, which also occur in skiers, are more often associated with motorcycle accidents or football injuries in young individuals
