Prolia is a biologic. Primarily used in autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis etc. Not sure if it is indicated for fracture healing per se. There are other injections to treat osteoporosis like parathormone, alendronates, zolendronic acid etc.
Next Steps
Fractures need rest and correction of osteoporosis.
