【 摘 要 】

Myrmecodia pendens is one of the medicinal plants that can provide healing effects, including injuries to the bones. Bone injury can occur due to many things, including injury due to infection, non-infection, degeneration and neoplasm. Bone is the most important part of the body for humans. Decreasing bone function, will affect the human activity, therefore, faster bone healing is needed. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the role of Myrmecodia pendens on bone wound healing process. Several studies showed that Myrmecodia pendens contains flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, saponins, quinones, and glycosides, and anti-inflammatory substances. These materials are markers in the healing process. Myrmecodia pendens was proven to accelerate the healing process. Conclusion showed that Myrmecodia pendens is a medicinal plant that can accelerate the healing process of injury to the bones.
