This review covers bone remodeling, healing processes, and factors influencing them. Understanding bone physiology is crucial for skeletal development, fracture repair, and enhancing spinal fusion success.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine
  • Skeletal Biology and Physiology

Background:

  • Bone undergoes continuous remodeling through deposition and resorption.
  • Bone healing is influenced by chemical, mechanical, cellular, and pathological factors.
  • Osseous union is critical for successful spinal fusions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physiology of bone healing.
  • To examine mechanisms that affect bone healing.
  • To discuss adjuvant therapies for enhancing bone healing potential.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on bone anatomy and physiology.
  • Analysis of normal bone healing processes.
  • Examination of factors altering bone healing.

Main Results:

  • Bone remodeling is a dynamic process.
  • Various factors can impede or enhance bone healing.
  • Adjuvant therapies show potential for clinical application.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of bone physiology is essential for clinical practice.
  • Identifying and modulating factors affecting bone healing can improve outcomes.
  • Further research into adjuvant therapies may optimize fracture repair and spinal fusion.
