Fractures: A balanced diet is the right answer. Other than that, extra "goodies" are unlikely to be of any benefit.

Varies: There are not really any foods we know that help bones heal faster. We do know some things that can potentially delay bone healing including nicotine products and medications that inhibit inflammation ( inflammation is a part of bone healing and so to block it delays bone healing). Good question.
