It usually takes more than 8-12 weeks after a fracture to be considered back to normal. This is because according to the three-stage healing theory of Chinese medicine for fractures, the first stage is the initial bone healing period, which is 2-4 weeks, when the fracture end is just wrapped with fresh fibrous connections such as flesh buds and will not be easily dislocated, also known as the soft healing period of bone. The second stage is the bone healing period, which is 4-8 weeks, when the fracture end has a part of bone scab formation, but it is not very strong yet, so it needs to continue to be fixed. The third stage is the period of strengthening the bone, which is 8-12 weeks or more, when the bone scabs are formed in large quantities and are stronger. Therefore, it takes more than 8-12 weeks after the fracture to be considered as normal, which means that it takes about 100 days to recuperate from the injury.
