Empowering you to live healthier.
Fracture is the interruption of bone integrity and continuity, and its healing is a complex and continuous process. Normally, it is divided into three stages according to its histological and cytological changes. One is the hematoma inflammation organization stage, which needs to be completed in about two weeks after fracture. The other is the original callus formation stage, which takes about 4-8 weeks. The third is the bone plate formation molding stage, which takes about 8-12 weeks. Fracture healing is divided into clinical healing and bone healing. The criteria for clinical healing are local tenderness, no longitudinal percussion pain, local abnormal activity, X-ray shows that the fracture line has blurred, and continuous callus can be seen. Bone healing is X-ray shows that the fracture line disappears. Therefore, the blurred fracture line has reached the criteria for clinical healing, but it has not reached the criteria for bone healing. At this stage, you can start walking with weight, but the fracture has not healed firmly. It is necessary to gradually increase the strength of weight. Because with the increase of load stress, the internal stress of fracture gradually recovers under stimulation, but it takes a certain time to recover to normal. Therefore, according to the different fracture sites, the time required is also different, generally still needs 4-8 weeks of observation time. Then review X-ray, and after the clinician's review guidance, to see if bone healing has been achieved, whether it has the ability to run and jump.
