Abstract:
Fracture healing is a complex biological process that can be delayed or impaired in certain situations. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to promote bone formation and accelerate fracture healing. This editorial talks about the current understanding of BMPs, their mechanisms of action in fracture healing, and their potential applications in orthopedic trauma management. We also discuss the ongoing challenges and future directions for research on BMPs in fracture healing.

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...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
