Can cortical bone fracture heal itself?

Cortical bone fracture can heal itself. However, it should be treated according to the specific degree of fracture and whether it is misplaced. Since cortical bone is an important part of bone, the continuity and hardness of fractured bone may be affected and it is easy to show misplacement. For simple cortical bone fracture, there is no obvious misplacement, and it is completely possible to take rest or plaster fixation for treatment to maintain stability. In addition, local hot compress, oral blood circulation and analgesic drugs, generally four to six weeks or so can achieve initial healing, gradually under the ground for functional exercise, promote limb and joint function recovery. Part of the serious cortical fracture, bone stability is very poor, if combined with dislocation, should be timely manual reduction or surgery into treatment, to prevent limb dysfunction.
