The process of bone healing after tibial fractures has four stages: The inflammatory stage, callus formation, bone replacement and remodeling. In the initial inflammatory stage, a hematoma forms at the fracture site containing growth factors that help to initiate the healing process. This results in the formation of a cartilage and collagen containing soft callus which helps in providing the fracture with some degree of stability. With time the soft callus is replaced by bony tissue and forms a hard callus. The final phase, remodeling, is the process of shaping and strengthening of the bone to its original shape. The entire process may take several months and the speed of healing depends on the severity of the fracture and the health of the patient (Fazzalari et al., 2011). For this entire process weight bearing is significant especially in the callus formation stage. Weight bearing activities provide the mechanical stress that promotes the formation of the hard callus and the transition to mature bone during remodeling. This makes weight bearing a positive influence on healing and recovery (Joslin et al., 2008). But early or excessive weight bearing can also be detrimental to the healing and may lead to complications such as delayed union, nonunion or implant failure. Weight bearing has to be handled properly and systematically. Imaging techniques like X-rays are frequently employed by clinicians to assess the progress of healing and modify weight bearing recommendations. This allows clinicians to identify any potential problems with the fracture site or callus and modify the treatment strategy to achieve the best possible healing and outcome (Quan et al., 2021).
