Brief Answer:
It takes 8-12 weeks to heal.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The healing of fractured bone depends on its blood supply, extent of displacement, proper rest, healthy diet, etc.
Most of the bones heal in 8-12 weeks. It takes usually 8 weeks to see the evidence of healing in the bone. You can upload your X-ray reports for a better evaluation. If the bone fragments are well aligned with minimal displacement then chances of healing are there with proper rest. You can start with regular calcium and vitamin D3 supplements along with multivitamin supplement. Avoid smoking and alcohol use also.

I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal

Hi Doctor,
Thank you for suggestions.

I have one more doubt, after surgery (55 days) can we take ayurvedic treatment also for quick recover.
So many peoples are suggesting to take ayurvedic treatment also for quick and better recover. But I am doubt that it is correct process to take ayurvedic.

Peoples suggesting that if we take ayurvedic treatment I will recover in 20 days and without fail.

Could you please suggest me your opinion on this.

Thanks and Regards

Brief Answer:
Detail below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have gone through X-ray reports, still, there is no sign of union in X-ray.
There is no diet plan for faster recovery, you should drink milk daily, eat 1-2 egg daily.
You can take Corcium k2 one tablet daily along with cholecalciferol 60k once a week for 3 months.
You can also take Cissus Quadrangularis (Reunion) twice daily for faster recovery.
You should wait for next 2-3 months to see the signs of union.

Hope my answer is helpful. Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Hello,

Yes , you can take ayurvedic treatment also for quick recovery.
I can't say that you will recover in 20 days and without fail, but definitely it has better results.
You can take Cissus Quadrangularis (Reunion) twice daily for faster recovery as I told you earlier.

Hope my answer is helpful. Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
