Method for enhancement of bone healing in mammals which comprises treating damaged mammalian bone with pharmaceutically and physiologically active amounts of isolated omental lipid consisting essentially of ganglioside to enhance healing of the damage wherein the damage comprises a fracture, osteoarthritis, arthrodesis, osteonecrosis or a bone graft and wherein treating the damaged bone with the omental ganglioside-containing lipid enhances at least one of bone density, bone perfusion or bone strength.
