Importance of Nutrition in Fracture Healing

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Abstract

Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are common and place a significant burden on modern-day health care systems. Within the United States alone, there are more than 6 million fractures a year (1), with hip fractures making up a significant proportion (2). These tend to be concentrated among the elderly osteoporotic population and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality (3).
