What helps a broken bone heal?
There are two major factors affecting how rapidly a broken bone will heal - alignment and immobility. Alignment refers to how close the broken bits are to each other - the further away the pieces are, the longer it will take for a bony callus to form and reunite the pieces. Immobility refers to how stable the break is - the more the pieces move, the longer it takes for a bony callus to corral all the bits and glue them back together. If either factor is missing (either the pieces are not close enough or the break continues to move), the bones may never heal and you end up with a nonunion fracture that will take surgery and a lot of time to fix.
