How long does it take for a comminuted ulnar humerus fracture to heal?



Comminuted ulnar humerus fracture can be healed in 3~6 months after proper treatment, and can reach complete healing in about 1~2 years.

Comminuted ulnar humerus fracture is an intra-articular fracture, and we usually recommend surgical treatment to avoid complications such as joint stiffness. The healing of the fracture needs to go through the period of hematoma inflammation mechanization (about 2 weeks after the injury), the period of primitive bone scab formation (about 3~6 months after the injury), and the period of bone scab remodeling and shaping (about 1~2 years after the injury).

Clinical healing is usually achieved in about 3 to 6 months after proper treatment. Clinical healing means that the fracture line is blurred, and the bone scab passes through continuously, and has a certain resistance to muscle rotation and a certain weight-bearing capacity. complete healing can be achieved in about 1~2 years.

Patients with comminuted ulnar humerus fracture are recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
