Dr. Chinedu Nwosa discusses the healing process from a fracture.
It takes in general three to five months to heal from a broken bone, and of course it depends on the severity of the injury and the nature of the reconstruction. Additional factors may include some patient factors, for example if the patient is a smoker, if they have diabetes or any other health issues, it may impact the healing as well. If someone has an ankle fracture that is not too severe, they can probably heal and get them back to what they were doing before roughly in about four months. If you have more of a complex pelvic fracture or an acetabulum fracture, now you are talking about a six, to eight to even ten month recovery process. So the more complex the injury is, the more severe the injury is, that has a direct impact on the length of time that bone takes to heal.
