How long can fracture plaster be torn down

Basically, it takes about three weeks to remove the fracture and then choose plaster external fixation. The specific time it takes to remove it completely depends on the patient's age, constitution, and the location of the fracture. The severity is related. If the age of fracture is relatively young, the healing speed of fracture is relatively fast, and the time to remove plaster is relatively short. If a child has a fracture, it can be removed in about three weeks, and then some functional exercises can be carried out. If an adult has a fracture, it is recommended that it takes about 6-8 weeks to remove plaster. The callus will be relatively large, and the fracture line is also relatively blurred, so the plaster can be removed. If the patient wants to remove the plaster, he needs to go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations to understand the recovery situation before he can remove it. Don't remove the plaster blindly.
