Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: A Promising Approach for Enhancing Fracture Healing

Fracture healing is a complex biological process that can be delayed or impaired in certain situations. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to promote bone formation and accelerate fracture healing. This editorial talks about the current understanding of BMPs, their mechanisms of action in fracture healing, and their potential applications in orthopedic trauma management. We also discuss the ongoing challenges and future directions for research on BMPs in fracture healing.
