Associations between an inflammatory diet index and nonunion: a prospective study of 172,839 UK biobank participants
These findings propose that a moderately pro-inflammatory dietary pattern may confer protection against impaired bone healing, whereas both strongly anti-inflammatory and excessively pro-inflammatory diets were associated with compromised healing outcomes. Based on these results, tailored dietary strategies designed to optimize inflammatory homeostasis during fracture recovery are recommended to enhance clinical outcomes.
