DESCRIPTION
A fracture is a break or a crack in a bone. If the skin over the bone remains intact, a fracture is referred to as a closed or simple fracture; if the bone breaks the skin, it is termed an open or compound fracture. A fracture may cause extreme pain and tenderness in the injured area; swelling, a protruding bone or blood under the skin; and numbness, tingling, or paralysis below the fracture. A major fracture, such as of an arm or leg, may also cause a loss of the pulse below the fracture as well as weakness and an inability to bear weight. Broken arms, fingers, or legs may be bent out of alignment.
Fractures occur most often in the very young and in older adults, Indeed, fractures pose an increasing problem as we grow older and our bones become more brittle. Falls account for 87 percent of all fractures in people aged 65 or older. An estimated 300,000 hip fractures occur in people over 50 years of age each year. People aged 85 or older are 15 times more likely to suffer from a fracture if they fall than people between 60 and 65. Osteoporosis is a factor in the majority of these cases. Hip fractures are by far the most troublesome fractures for older adults, and, unfortunately, many cannot live an independent life after a hip fracture.
A broken bone calls for prompt professional help. After a bone has been set, the following supplements and other recommendations will aid in healing.

GENERAL PREVENTION & TREATMENT
HERBS
Boswellia, an herb used commonly in Ayurvedic medicine, aids in the process of recovery from a fracture, easing pain and acting as an excellent anti-inflammatory.
HerbalRemedies: Boswellia Extract (Frankincense), Standardized, Nature's Way, 307 mg, 60 Tabs
Nature's Way Standardized Boswellia extract has been formulated to meet the dosage used in clinical studies on Boswellic Acids and their health benefits.
Mountain Rose Herbs: Frankincense Powder, Wildharvested Bulk Herbs
Powdered resin added to water, tincture, and very rarely as a tea. For internal use, sometimes mixed with myrrh or cress. In aromatherapy, frankincense is compatible with bergamot, cinnamon, clary sage, geranium, grapefruit, jasmine, lavender, lemon, myrrh, neroli, orange, patchouli, pine, rose, sandalwood, tangerine, and ylang ylang. In Ayurvedic medicine, frankincense is combined with turmeric to make teas, tinctures, or encapsulations for treating arthritis and muscle pain.
Horsetail extract is a good source of silica, which enhances the utilization of calcium and promotes healing and repair.
HerbalRemedies: Horsetail Herb Grass, Nature's Way, 440 mg, 100 Caps
Horsetail herb contains approximately 22 milligrams of Silica per capsule or 4.94% and Nature's Way Horsetail Grass is certified organically processed by Oregon tilth. Horsetail Herb is rich in silica, heavily concentrated in its dried stems. The name comes from the appearance of the mature plant, which resembles a horse's tail.
Mountain Rose Herbs: Horsetail, Certified Organic Bulk Herbs
Usually in tea, tinctures and encapsulations. Universally used in cosmetics. In very high doses, horsetail is sedative and anticonvulsant. The primary use of the herb, however, is as a diuretic. Gently stimulating increased urinary flow, horsetail helps "flush" infectious bacteria out of the bladder without altering the body's balance of electrolytes. The powdered form of the herb is better when electrolytes may be depleted. It's also the form of the herb being investigated as a treatment for age-related memory impairment. Precautions: When taking horsetail powder for its diuretic effect, be sure to drink extra water for maximum benefit. Avoid if there are kidney stones. Don't take horsetail herb if you take an ACE inhibitor for high blood pressure and you have congestive heart failure, as the combination of the herb and the drug can cause accumulation of excessive potassium. Not recommended while pregnant.
Turmeric paste makes a good poultice. Combine turmeric with a little hot water and apply it to the site of the injury on a gauze dressing. This is also good for bruises and helps to reduce swelling. A poultice of fresh mullein leaves is also good. See Using A Poultice for more information.
HerbalRemedies: Turmeric Extract, Standardized Extract, Nature's Way, 500 mg, 120 Tabs
Nature's Way standardized Turmeric extract is a technically advanced herbal extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids. This is the highest concentration of curcuminoids available.
HerbalRemedies: Turmeric Tincture, 100% Organic, 2 fl. oz.
Turmeric is useful as an anti-inflammatory and can be used to reduce Alzheimer's debilitating effects, but there are multiple studies that suggest curcumin can have some potential in actually treating various forms of cancer.
HerbalRemedies: Curcumin, NOW Foods, 665 mg, 60 VCaps
Through its antioxidant mechanisms, Curcumin supports colon health, exerts neuroprotective activity and helps maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Mountain Rose Herbs: Turmeric, Certified Organic Bulk Herbs
Teas, tinctures, and poultices. Combined with dong quai for treating menstrual cramps. Ayurvedic medicine uses turmeric with guggul for treating liver disease. Many of the healing of benefits of turmeric have been ascribed to curcumin, a group of antioxidant compounds found in the rhizome. Although curcumin is available as a standardized extract, the whole herb may be more beneficial for you than the curcumin extract: Only very small amounts of curcumin are absorbed into the bloodstream. Turmeric as a whole herb stays in the digestive tract longer than curcumin, releasing antioxidant curcumin along with other beneficial substances. Turmeric is the main anti-inflammatory herb of Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda uses turmeric to treat diseases of the liver and to relieve inflammation. Laboratory tests have found that turmeric in antioxidant and antimutagenic, that is, it potentially helps prevent new cancers that are caused by chemotherapy or radiation used to treat existing cancers. Turmeric in the diet may prevent pain of arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis. A volatile oil in the spice is as effective in relieving pain, under laboratory conditions, as equal amounts steroids. The antioxidants in turmeric fight atherosclerosis by deactivating platelet-activating facto (POAF). This protein seals leaks in blood vessels by stimulating the growth of a protein "net" on which a cholesterol plaque can form. Curcumin in turmeric helps prevent hardening of the arteries in people who have diabetes, and also helps stop the loss of protein through the kidneys. In the laboratory, the antioxidants in turmeric kills cultures of cancer cells from the skin, bloodstream, and ovaries. Curcumin may stop the action of a livery enzyme that activates environmental toxins into carcinogen forms, and may be especially useful in deactivating the carcinogens in cigarette smoke and chewing tobacco. Turmeric in the diet increases the production of enzymes that digest fats and sugars, and stop cholesterol from forming gallstones. Turmeric prevents the release of histamine in the stomach, quelling nervous stomach and counteracting food allergies. Turmeric fights gum inflammation by halting the action of a gene that creates irritant chemicals. With the irritation, bacteria cannot find a place to grow, and the absence of bacteria reduces both bad breath and gingivitis. Of course, if you use turmeric to prevent bad breath, you shouldn't eat curries made with garlic. Precautions: As is the case with so many herbs, turmeric should be used in moderation. Too much turmeric for too long can cause stomach distress. Since turmeric is included in Ayurvedic formulas for birth control, women trying to become pregnant should limit their consumption of the herb, and it should be avoided while pregnant. Excessive use of turmeric should also be avoided in people with congestive heart failure. The curcumin in turmeric activates a gene called p53. This gene deactivates cancer cells, but it also deactivates damaged cells in the heart.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Eat half of a fresh pineapple every day until the fracture is healed. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that acts to reduce swelling and inflammation. Use only fresh pineapple, not canned or processed. If you don't like pineapple, the food supplement bromelain will provide the same benefits. Bromelain should be taken on an empty stomach.
HerbalRemedies: Bromelain Supplement, NOW Foods, 2000 GDU, 500 mg, 90 Tabs
NOW Foods Bromelain 2000 GDU, Bromelain Supplement, is a proteolytic digestive enzyme that can enhance absorption of protein.

Avoid red meat, as well as colas and any other products containing caffeine. Foods with preservatives should also be avoided due to their phosphorus content. Phosphorus can lead to bone loss.
Use clay poultices for bruises and swelling. See Poultices for more information.
HerbalRemedies: Bentonite Clay, Pascalite, 100 Caps

Make your home safer by taking measures such as the following:
- Use non-slippery floor coverings. If you have carpets that are not fitted, make sure the edges are taped down.
- Make sure you keep your path clear. If you have pets, they should be trained to keep out of your way. Do not leave things on the floor.
- Make sure you have plenty of light so that you can see properly.
- Wipe up any spilled liquids immediately.
- Wear shoes or slippers with rubber soles.
- Take extra precautions when using the stairs. Install handrails if necessary.
- If you have difficulty getting in and out of the tub or shower, install hand grip handles and devices to give you extra stability.
- Keep the telephone in a readily accessible place. Do not rush to answer it. Portable phones are available with a simple large red button that will connect you directly with the 911 emergency number.
- Medical alert devices that are worn around the neck or wrist are available for people living alone.
- Talk to your health care provider about the medications you are taking and discuss whether they might impair your balance or orientation.
If you are in discomfort after a fall, have an x-ray taken of the painful area. If there is a fracture, you need to have it attended to immediately.
If you suffer a hip fracture, ask your health care provider about nerve block before you have an operation to fix it. A nerve block can lessen the amount of oral analgesic administered during surgery.
CONSIDERATIONS
Ultrasound therapy after a fracture may speed healing as much as 45 percent. The device has been approved by the FDA but only, at present, for wrist and shinbone fractures. This treatment is applied at home through a window in the cast. It is expensive, however, and may not be covered by some health insurance policies.
Glucosamine sulfate is a natural alternative to aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Glucosamine is found naturally in joint cartilage. It stimulates the production of the substances needed for joint repair.
A study of senior citizens who took tranquilizers revealed that they suffered 70 percent more hip fractures than did other people their age.
