These drugs have side effects and are costly due to which patients skip these supplements. Routinely prescribed vitamin D have known toxicity. To overcome this problem, affordable and safe alternative treatment is needed. Sweet almonds contain essential bone nutrients that might have potential for maintaining bone strength. Human and animal studies have shown positive impact of almonds on bone health and fracture healing. Almonds are consumed in diet frequently but may occasionally cause toxicity, mainly if consumed at higher amount. Because of the high bone essential nutrients in almonds, the trial aimed to investigate the fracture healing effect and safety of almonds in femur and tibia shaft fra
