Objective:
To review the current status and advances of the correlation between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and fracture healing.
Methods:
The related domestic and abroad literature about the correlation between TBI and fracture healing was extensively reviewed and analyzed.
Results:
There are a variety of studies on the correlation between TBI and fracture healing, which can be divided into two major aspects: revascularization and osteogenesis; the local and systemic changes of the neuropeptide and hormone after TBI.
Conclusion:
TBI facilitates callus formation, the further research is needed to clarify the exact mechanism.

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
Traumatic Memory
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
