Abstract
Bone healing of diaphyseal fractures is a complex biological process that involves different pathways. Direct healing needs rigid internal fixation, whereas indirect healing occurs in relative stability fixation techniques. There are many biological and mechanical factors that may influence the healing process. In order to provide the best treatment for each fracture, full knowledge of these factors is mandatory for the orthopaedic surgeon.
