Fracture healing is regulated by the type and extent of the fracture, the stability of the fracture's fixation, and biological processes, including those associated with skeletal ontogeny.[1] The interprofessional team needs to follow up with the patient regularly throughout the healing process to ensure proper healing and maintain fixation stability. In some instances, physical therapy be necessary, and the physical therapist must communicate back the patient's progress, along with any possible concerns, to the team. As mentioned above, counsel to eat a nutritious diet and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol are crucial factors in enhancing fracture healing. The interprofessional approach with open communication between all team members help drive optimal fracture healing.
