Abstract
Bone healing is characterized by a series of molecular, cellular, and tissue transformations consisting of resorption and formation of hard and soft tissues. Mineralized tissue remodeling in fracture repair involves the activity of various cells and tissues such as periost, bone marrow, bone and soft tissues. In addition to these factors optimal bone healing depends on presence of growth factors, hormones, oxygen supply, pH and mechanical stability on bone fracture site. Bone healing process can be divided in primary and secondary bone healing.
