Abstract
Background: Fracture repair is a complex process. An inappropriate diet is a contributing risk factor for fracture nonunion. The aim of this study was to extract dietary recommendations for fracture healing according to traditional Persian medicine (TPM) literature.
Method: The contents relevant to diets in fracture healing were selected from main textbooks in TPM like Al Qanon fi Al-teb ( The Canon). Other reference textbooks in traditional medicine were also used for a comprehensive study in this respect. Finally content analysis was used for summarizing and describing the results.
Findings: Food stuffs are classified in TPM according to their nutritive value, their assimilability, and the quality of achieved chyme. Some light meals like chicken soup are recommended for the early days of fracture and high-nutrient and dense foods such as goat's or sheep's head and nuts are advised in following days for fracture healing acceleration and callus formation. Several recommendations are also provided for pacing the healing process.
Conclusion: A comparison of Avicenna and other Persian sage's recommended regimens with the recent evidence revealed the potential positive effects of their regimen for bone healing acceleration. It can shed light on a part of history of orthopedics and add to current knowledge about bone fracture and its management.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine ((JEBIM)), published previously as the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (JEBCAM) and also as Complementary Health Practice Review (CHPR). The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine (JEBIM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access, biomedical journal whose aim is to create a global platform for hypothesis-driven and evidence-based research in all fields of integrative medicine. The journal’s objective is to publish papers which impart scientific validity to Integrative Medicine methods that are indispensable and inevitable in today’s world. All papers will be peer reviewed by experts in their respective fields, and papers will be accepted based on their scientific merit. It is the goal of the Journal to help remove the “myth” and provide scientific rationale for the various methodologies and theories of Integrative Medicine. All submissions will be reviewed based on their scientific merit and only papers with sound study design, valid statistical analyses and logical conclusions will be accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to: Traditional Eastern and Western medicine Nutrition therapy and supplementation Massage Therapy Non-traditional treatments Preventative medicine Integrative health and medicine Mindfulness Yoga.
