Objective: 1.This study was done to find time required for fracture healing in patients receiving conventional line of treatment by radiographical study and time required for healing in patient receiving symphytum officinale 30C along with conventional line of treatment by radiographical study. Material and Method: A Randomized Control Trial to explore the Effectiveness of Symphytum Officinale as an osteogenesis enhancer in undisplaced fracture was conducted at Motiwala Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, for a period of six months. Thirty cases of un-displaced fracture based on radiological examination were selected as per the inclusion criteria using simple randomization technique. Symphytum officinale 30C was prescribed in study group along with conventional line of treatment and the control group received only conventional line of treatment. X-ray was taken on 21st day and 45th day. The data was analyzed. Results: Study group consist of 15 patients in whom 3 cases showed early callus formation and 12 cases showed good callus formation in 21 days. Control group consist of 15 patient in which 8 cases showed good callus formation and 7 cases showed no callus formation in 21 days. Conclusion: The study conducted has explored the osteogenietic property of Homoeopathic remedy, Symphytum officinale has proved to promote calcification as early as 21st day in study group. Thus symphytum is an effective osteogenetic enhancer in undisplaced fractures, and can be an adjuvant to conventional line of treatment. More rigorous studies with large sample size are however desirable.
