Growth+-+Repair

Welcome to our page on bone growth and repair

Did you know bones grow by cells? A baby's skeletal system is different then a full grown adult skeletal system because a baby's skeletal system has more bones that haven't been connected yet. To get strong bones you need to exercise, eat dairy, have a lot of calcium and drink water. Some ways how bones can be injured: broken, fractured, split, bone cancer. A fracture and a broken bone is the same thing. A doctor can diagnose an injury by looking in an x-ray or listening to your heart. A fracture heals itself overtime and a break is put into a cast and you get crutches to walk on so you can give that part of your body time to heal.Crutches are for a broken foot, leg, or ankle.You get a cast on your arm to heal a broken wrist or arm. Did you know 7 pounds can break your collar bone?
