Homeopathy treatment for fracture
A bone fractures is a medical condition where the continuity of the bone is broken.
OVERVIEW
It is a common presenting symptom of osteoporosis, but they also occur in other bone diseases, in osteopenia and in some patients with normal bone.
Significant percentage of bone fractures occur because of high force impact or stress.
Most bone fractures are caused by falls and accidents.
CAUSES
Stress i.e.:
- More common among athletes.
- A bone breaks because of repeated stresses and strains.
Torus (buckle) i.e.:
- Bone deforms but does not crack.
- More common in children.
- It is painful but stable.
Transverse fractures i.e.:
- A straight break right across a bone.
TYPES
There are several different ways in which a bone can fracture; for example, a break to the bone that does not damage surrounding tissue or tear through the skin is known as a closed fracture.
On the other hand, one that damages surrounding skin and penetrates the skin is known as a compound fracture or an open fracture.
Compound fractures are generally more serious than simple fractures, because, by definition, they are infected.
There is a range of fracture types, including:
Different type:
Avulsion i.e.:
- A muscle or ligament pulls on the bone, additionally; fracturing it.
Comminuted fracture i.e.:
- Basically, The bone is shattered into many pieces.
Compression (crush) fracture i.e.:
- Generally occurs in the spongy bone in the spine.
- For example, the front portion of a vertebra in the spine may collapse due to osteoporosis.
Fracture
dislocation i.e.:
- A joint becomes dislocated, also one of the bones of the joint has a fracture.
Green stick i.e.:
- The bone partly fractures on one side, but does not break completely because the rest of the bone can bend.
- This is more common among children, whose bones are softer and more elastic.
Hairline fracture i.e.:
- A partial fracture of the bone.
- Moreover, Sometimes this type of fracture is harder to detect with routine x rays.
Impacted i.e.:
- When the bone is fractured, one fragment of bone goes into another.
Intra articular fracture i.e.:
- In general, Where the break extends into the surface of a joint.
Longitudinal i.e.:
- The break is along the length of the bone.
Oblique fracture i.e.:
- It is especially, diagonal to a bone’s long axis.
Pathological fracture i.e.:
- When an underlying disease or condition has already weakened the bone, resulting in a fractures (especially bone fractures caused by an underlying disease/condition that weakened the bone).
Spiral i.e.:
- At least one part of the bone has been twisted.
Stress i.e.:
- More common among athletes.
- A bone breaks because of repeated stresses and strains.
Torus (buckle) i.e.:
- Bone deforms but does not crack.
- More common in children.
- It is painful but stable.
Transverse fractures i.e.:
- A straight break right across a bone.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Generally, The presentation is with localised bone pain, which is worsened by movement of the affected limb or region.
There is usually a history of trauma but it spontaneously occur in the absence of trauma in those with severe osteoporosis.
It can be divided into several subtypes, based on the precipitating event also presence or absence of an underlying disease.
The main differential diagnosis is soft tissue injury, but fractures should be suspected when there is;
- Marked pain
- Swelling
- Abnormal movement of the affected limb
- Crepitus
- Deformity
- Angulation – the affected area may be bent at an unusual angle
- The patient is unable to put weight on the injured area
- The affected either bone or joint may have a grating sensation
- If it is an open fractures, there may be bleeding
Femoral neck fractures typically produce a shortened, externally rotated leg that is painful to move.

WHAT TO EAT
For bone fractures, proper nutrition is essential for healing. Focus on these key nutrients:
-
Calcium-rich foods: Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese), leafy greens (kale, spinach), and fortified plant milks promote bone strength.
-
Vitamin D: Helps the body absorb calcium. Include fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, and fortified foods.
-
Protein: Lean meats, poultry, tofu, legumes, and nuts aid tissue repair and muscle support.
-
Magnesium: Whole grains, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens support bone structure.
-
Vitamin C: Citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers help collagen formation for bone repair.
-
Zinc: Meat, shellfish, legumes, and seeds support tissue healing.
-
Healthy fats: Include omega-3-rich foods like salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts for inflammation reduction.
Adequate hydration and a balanced diet of these nutrients help optimize recovery from fractures.
