Fracture healing is an exceptional wound healing response in which the repair pro cess takes place with production of new bone tissue. There are three consecutive and interconnected phases. İnflammatory response begins immediately after the fracture and changes to repair phase shortly. İn this phase, the cellular and matrix structures which were destroyed in the initial trauma are replaced and the long -lasting remodeling phase initiates. Complex cellular and molecular mechanisms are involved in all these stages of fracture healing.
