"said healing process", what did you say?
editThe article lead goes "Generally bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor pushing dislocated bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position, and then waiting for said healing process to occur." What's this about a 'said healing process'? What does that refer to? The article had at this point not said anything about any healing processes. If it's a reference to the article title, then it's recursive. This is broken, Imma fixit. -lethe talk + 04:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Please Do Not Use the Term "Dislocation"
editIn the sentence "Generally bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor pushing dislocated bones back into place," the word "dislocated" is inaccurate and misleading. A dislocation is something that happens when two bones on either side of a joint are shifted out of position: a "dislocated elbow," a "dislocated shoulder," etc. The parts of a fracture, when in poor opposition, are said to be "displaced." Some injuries are combined "fracture-dislocations." Please use the term "displaced bones." - MD, San Francisco —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.43.38 (talk) 20:25, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Studies for a new section on medical evidenced based patient participation in optimal outcomes
editBesides nutrition, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and slowly beginning careful exercise according to doctor's prescription are additional keys patient participation in optimizing the healing process.
Here are studies and other sources providing evidence for nutritional support for optimal fracture healing and for bolstering bones against recurrence.

The book “Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis” 1994 by Dr. Alan Gaby, M.D., sets out studies showing the benefits of a number of nutrients, e.g., the surprising value of magnesium and vitamin K.

Vitamins and bone health: beyond calcium and vitamin D.
- Abstract
- Osteoporosis is a major health disorder associated with an increased risk of fracture. Nutrition is among the modifiable factors that influence the risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Calcium and vitamin D play important roles in improving bone mineral density and reducing the risk of fracture. Other vitamins appear to play a role in bone health as well. In this review, the findings of studies that related the intake and/or the status of vitamins other than vitamin D to bone health in animals and humans are summarized. Studies of vitamin A showed inconsistent results. Excessive, as well as insufficient, levels of retinol intake may be associated with compromised bone health. Deficiencies in vitamin B, along with the consequent elevated homocysteine level, are associated with bone loss, decreased bone strength, and increased risk of fracture. Deficiencies in vitamins C, E, and K are also associated with compromised bone health; this effect may be modified by smoking, estrogen use or hormonal therapy after menopause, calcium intake, and vitamin D. These findings highlight the importance of adequate nutrition in preserving bone mass and reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

(As I read it, the study group receiving both bisphosphonates calcium (1,000 mg) and vitamin D3 (800 IU) daily, plus supplementation with 40 g protein and did better than the group that received all but the protein. The study group had increased bone mineral density, while the no-protein-supplement group’s BMD decreased.

edit3 methods of bone healing: 1.indirect 2.direct 3.distraction histiogenesis(invented by james aramson) indirect method is the most common type== Physiology and process of healing == In the process of fracture healing, several phases of recovery facilitate the proliferation and protection of the areas surrounding fractures and dislocations. The length of the process depends on the extent of the injury, and usual margins of two to three weeks are given for the reparation of most upper bodily fractures; anywhere above four weeks given for lower bodily injury.[citation needed]
Footnote to pdf with a plethora of pseudoscience
editPdf by Susan e. Brown, linked as first footnote regarding the role of nutrients on bone healing, contains some dismayal claims such as "Homeopathy is a powerful medicine and when possible the best policy is to seek the advice of a professional homeopath.", and cites as credible stuff like human energy fields, touch healing, reiki and more of the likes.
