Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week course of a cetylated fatty acid supplement can improve bone healing after surgery for a broken femur or tibia. One hundred adults will receive either the supplement or a placebo, and healing will be tracked with X-rays and pain scores. The goal is to see if the supplement helps bones mend faster and reduces discomfort.
