Fracture how long can good

Fracture healing time varies from person to person, and generally takes weeks to months.

Simple, undisplaced fractures usually heal faster than complex, comminuted fractures. Fracture healing time can also be extended if the fracture is accompanied by severe soft tissue damage. For example, a simple distal radius fracture may heal in 6 to 8 weeks, while severe comminuted fractures of the femoral shaft may take 3 to 6 months or longer. Second, fractures in children generally heal faster than adults because of greater metabolism and bone growth and repair. The elderly may be due to physical decline, osteoporosis and other reasons, leading to prolonged fracture healing time.

Patients should follow the doctor's advice after fracture treatment and rehabilitation, regular review, so that doctors timely understand the fracture healing situation, and adjust the treatment plan according to need. If found fracture healing or other abnormal conditions, should seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
