Fracture healing requires energy. It's said that an injured patient with multiple fractures may need 6000 calories per day, but I think that's too much. Would you say the caloric intake should be higher in LL than in simple fractures? It makes sense, but I would like to know your opinion.

Would you say a low carb diet (e.g. ketogenic diet) is good (or not bad) for bone regeneration?
