How long after fracture does activity begin?

How long to start activities after fracture depends on the location, severity, treatment and individual recovery. In general, activities can be gradually started 4 to 6 weeks after fracture according to the doctor's guidance

. For example, upper limb fractures recover relatively quickly and may start activities earlier; lower limb fractures, especially those involving weight-bearing parts, need to be arranged more carefully. Simple fractures may recover faster and can move earlier; severe comminuted fractures need to wait longer for healing. After surgical treatment, if the fixation is stable, it may be appropriate to move earlier; Conservative treatment such as plaster fixation, activity time may be relatively delayed. Patients with good physical fitness and good nutritional status tend to recover faster and can start activities earlier; patients with old, weak or other underlying diseases recover slower and activity time needs to be delayed accordingly.

In addition, during fracture recovery, patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice, do not move too early or excessively, so as not to affect fracture healing. At the same time, patients should maintain a good mentality, actively cooperate with treatment and rehabilitation training, and gradually restore limb function. If there is any discomfort or doubt in the recovery process, they should communicate with the doctor in time.
