PAS_1	Cryptolepis buchanani (Ganglong, family Asclepiadaceae) is a climbing tree widely used in folk medicine in Southeast Asia. Also its root, stem, and leaves are used for the treatment of bone fracture by tribal people in Arunachal Pradesh. It shows antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and chondroprotective activities. Cissus quadrangularis (Harjor, family Vitaceae) has been known for its bone healing properties for many centuries (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5512407/#:~:text=Acacia%20arabica%20(Babool%2C%20family%20Mimosaceae,dislocation%20of%20bones%20stiff%20joint.)

Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs	Damage to adjacent structures such as nerves, muscles or blood vessels, spinal cord, and nerve roots (for spine fractures), or cranial contents (for skull fractures) may cause other specific signs and symptoms. Also includes pain, disability, and deformity. If the fracture union is not achieved, the patient may suffer long-term disability.
Disease Description	A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.
Disease Control	Splints – to stop movement of the broken limb. Braces – to support the bone. Plaster cast – to provide support and immobilise the bone. Traction – a less common option. Surgically inserted metal rods or plates – to hold the bone pieces together. Pain relief.
Disease Prevention
