How can I speed up bone graft healing?

Room temperature foods that many patients enjoy following a bone graft include: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pudding, pureed fruit, or mashed potatoes. By avoiding foods that may require chewing, patients can speed up their healing process.
The only thing that you can do is keep a healthy lifestyle, but bone is a slow growing tissue, and patience is the best therapy.
