Abstract

Our understanding of the biology of fracture healing has evolved over the decades and basic science research as well as clinical outcomes studies continue to add to the existing knowledge. This review outlines the physiology and pathology of healing of fractures including those in children as well as fracture configurations with basic modalities of fixation and treatment.
