How long does it take for a diabetic fracture to heal

The healing time of fracture in diabetic patients is usually 3-6 months, as follows: First, in mild to moderate diabetic patients, if the blood glucose control is good, the healing time of fracture is usually around three months. Patients should adhere to blood glucose control as well as rehabilitation training to avoid high blood glucose. Secondly, severe diabetic patients with severe osteoporosis and blood vessel stenosis will prolong the healing time of the fracture accordingly. If the patient can actively cooperate with rehabilitation training and blood glucose control, the healing time of the fracture can usually be 3-6 months. If the patient has difficulty in cooperating with blood glucose control, the fracture is prone to delayed healing or even non-healing. Individuals may also suffer from secondary infections with serious consequences such as osteomyelitis.
