When there has been an accident, especially involving broken bones reach for your remedy kit to support the repair process. The following remedies may be helpful to support calcium metabolism, reduce pain and assist with repair of the fractured bone.
Arnica: 
First remedy to think of in any accident; it promotes wound healing and alleviation of any stress or trauma carried over from the injury or any surgery required. Continue as needed and alternate with other indicated remedies.
Bryonia: Most notably the person is irritable, wants to lie completely still and be left alone. Pain is much worse from movement. Often needed after or with Arnica and alternated with Rhus tox to help reduce bruising, swelling and pain.
Hypericum: For injury to nerve fibres, especially crush injuries – fingers, toes, etc. Reduces pain and addresses nerve damage. Shooting sharp pains. Use in combination with Arnica, especially after surgery, and repeat often for pain.
Rhus tox: Painful stiffness especially around joints. Better – movement & worse after lying or sitting, with stiffness and difficulty in getting up and moving. Alternate Rhus tox and Bryonia to relieve pain.
Ruta grav: Injury and surgery involving ligaments, cartilage and/or periosteum, or where bone is close to the surface. Stiffness and pain in joints with a feeling of bruised weakness and weariness. Consider Ruta grav and Rhus tox alternated for non-union of the fracture despite good management.
Symphytum: Useful once the fracture is set to speed union, especially where healing is slow. Irritable bone at point of fracture and prickly pains during healing.
Tissue salts 6x (Ferrum phos, Calc flour, Calc phos, Silica) a low potency combination to use in conjunction with the indicated remedy to help the body recover.
Delayed repair or non-union of bone within a reasonable period may indicate a constitutional weakness or block to healing indicating a need for a consultation with your homoeopath.
