It is usually normal for a bone fracture to still be swollen at fifty days.
A bone fracture is also a minor fracture that may generally take two to three months to fully recover from if desired.
After a bone fracture, the soft tissues at the site of the injury are subject to possible swelling. After a period of time, the fracture site can heal to a certain extent, but the surrounding soft tissues, blood circulation, and normal activities still need some time to recover.
For patients with bone fracture of the lower limb, although the fracture will be healed to a certain extent after fifty days, the muscles and blood vessels of the lower limb need to bear considerable pressure due to the special function of the lower limb, such as load bearing, walking, etc. After the fracture, the soft tissues of the lower limb may be swollen to a certain extent. After the fracture, the blood circulation in the lower limbs is restricted, and the legs and feet will become swollen. The limb needs to be elevated to reduce the swelling.
It will take some time for the swelling to subside completely. If the swelling does not subside after 3 months or more, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
