HOW BROKEN BONES HEAL

A bone can break due to fracture or osteoporosis, when bones become brittle and fracture easily. The fracture normally takes a few weeks to join back, with the orthopaedic's help- by putting a plaster/ cast, or sling to rest if it is a minor fracture, or with some screws.

There are different types of fractures- 
1) Complete fracture is when bone breaks into two distinct parts.
2)Hairline fracture when there is simply a crack on one side of the bone due to pressure.
3) Single fracture which occurs where there is breakage of the bone only in one place. 
4)A bowing fracture may occur when the bones bend instead of breaking completely. This kind of fracture is pretty common for children. 
5)The comminuted fracture happens when the bone is crushed or broken in many places. 
6)The open fracture is one where the bone ends up protruding from the skin. 

Treatment: Once a bone is broken,  an X ray is taken, which will help in understanding the type of fracture and the extent of the damage caused. The doctor will then apply a cast and plaster that will help in bringing the bone back to its normal position so that it grows back with the main bone. In case the bone has broken into various parts or there is a complete fracture, then the doctor may even insert metal pins to join the bone together.

1. Natural healers: Bones are known as natural healers that can heal with the process of new cells and vessel production which rebuilds the bone by covering the broken ends and closing the gap caused due to the damage or the crack.
2. Clot: Once a bone has broken, a blood clot or a callus forms in the surrounding region, which kind of acts towards sealing the area.
3. Threads: Once these clots have formed, the new threads of the bone cells begin to grow slowly from the ends of the broken bones. This will grow on both sides of the affected and fractured bones, almost as if drawing a line from one broken end to another.
4. Absorption: Finally, the callus will be absorbed by the new cell and the gap will close.

Consult your doctor is you are experiencing any noticeable symptoms that may point towards bone fractures.
