Pharmacological support of bone fracture healing.
Delayed bone union nor nonunion are undesirable complications of bone fractures. Although most fractures heal properly, there are many situations where acceleration of this process would be indicated. At present, there are many methods to support fracture healing locally. Current research is concentrated on substances that could accelerate this process on a systemic level. The most thoroughly studied agents to date are prostaglandins, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone.
