How long does a tibial plateau fracture last?

Tibia plateau fractures generally 6 weeks to 3 months can try to go down, but the specific time varies from person to person.

If the fracture is more serious, such as comminuted fracture, accompanied by obvious displacement, etc., recovery time is usually longer, the time to go down will be delayed accordingly. Severe fracture means more damage, need more time to repair and rebuild the bone structure. Young, good physical condition, adequate nutrition patients recover relatively quickly, may go down earlier; while old and weak patients with other underlying diseases recover slower, the time to go down will be delayed.

Patients should be regularly reviewed at the hospital, the doctor will evaluate the fracture healing according to the imaging results of regular review, such as X-ray. only when the fracture reaches a certain degree of healing, will the patient be allowed to go down, too early may lead to fracture re-displacement and other adverse consequences.
