Abstract
The characteristics of the repair callus in fractures, as well as the processes that take place during the healing of the lesioned tissues, are of paramount importance when we consider the speed, quality and prognosis of the bone tissue repair. The formation of the fracture callus depends on several factors that may be modified (altered) by different treatments (vitamins, minerals, hormones, electrical stimuli) (1,2,3) particularly if they are administered during the healing period (4).
