Abstract

Trauma and injury are one of the leading causes of mortality and suffering in today’s times most of which are attributed to accidental origins. Fracture is one such widespread and common deforming condition and needs to be addressed with medical treatment in the best way. Long bone fractures have high incidence rate among accidental fractures and are often associated with complications and requiring systemic as well as localised treatment. However it is observed in many cases the response to treatment by means of antibiotics, NSAID’s etc is not as expected to be and may thus increase the probability of further complications. Hence an attempt was made through a clinical study to treat simple long bone fracture with Ayurvedic drug/s that posses asthisandhanak and asthi poshak property/ies. For this study Shrugal Binna Mula Churna was chosen as a drug of choice in granule form with a standard sample of commercially available Gandha Taila capsules for comparative purpose.
