A method of monitoring a bone fracture in an individual. The method comprises the steps of: measuring a first parameter indicative of the load on said bone fracture measuring a second parameter indicative of the activity level of said individual obtaining a plurality of values for said first and second parameters correlating said values to determine a measure of bone fracture condition monitoring a change in said correlation over time and determining a measure of the change in bone fracture condition over time. A bone fixation system implements this method of monitoring a bone fracture in an individual. The method and system provide a more accurate and reliable measure of bone fracture condition and of the progression of healing of the bone fracture.
