RESUMO
The appearance of theoretical medic ine is an inevitable result of develo pment of medicine.The development of molecular biology an d molecular immunology has laid the b asis of theoretical medicine,which studies various systems in life so as to reveal the essential laws of life phenomen a.The mystery of fracture healing wi ll be explained only from the viewpoint of theoretical medicine.The primary c allus response(PCR)is the basic event of fracture healing that is a process of numerous repetition of PCR and accum ulation of the surplus repair of PCR.The pathologic process of fracture healing shares very similar cellular and molecular mechanisms with the physiologic process of bone remodeling.This theory has been referred to as monistical theory of fracture healing.[
