How Long Does It Take To Recover From Thigh Bone Damage?

Hi! My sister is suffering from tuberculosis meningitis from past 3 and a half years. Presently she has recovered from TB, but sometimes she gets FIDS due to headache. She also had a thigh bone damage while physiotherapy and got operated and placed a rod inside. The bone got adjusted rightly now. Our only concern is that can she able to walk again. If so, please let me know the correct treatment and the details of the organisation.

Hi there.

Yes, Since the rod has been placed and adjusted, it will heal. The time for the bones to unite will take about 1.5 to 2 months. Till then she may do protected weight bearing as possible.
