Role of the Neurologic System in Fracture Healing: An Extensive Review.

Journal: Current osteoporosis reports
PMID: 38236509

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite advances in orthopedics, there remains a need for therapeutics to hasten fracture healing. However, little focus is given to the role the nervous system plays in regulating fracture healing. This paucity of information has led to an incomplete understanding of fracture healing and has limited the development of fracture therapies that integrate the importance of the nervous system. This review seeks to illuminate the integral roles that the nervous system plays in fracture healing.
