How long it takes for a tailbone fracture to heal depends on the situation. If it is a younger child or teenager, the fracture heals faster and can generally heal basically in about 4 weeks. If it is an older person, the fracture is less able to heal and may take more than 2 months to heal. In addition, the tailbone fracture healing time depends on whether the fracture ends are displaced or not: 1. No displacement of the fracture ends: if the fracture ends are well aligned, there is no obvious displacement, and the fracture ends are not separated and displaced, the fracture healing speed will be faster, and the initial clinical healing can be achieved in 4-6 weeks, and complete healing can be achieved in about 2 months; 2. The fracture ends are obviously displaced: at this time, reset should be performed, because the tailbone part is special and cannot be fixed effectively, it is easy to be displaced again, in this case the fracture healing speed will become slower and it may take 3 months or even longer to reach healing. Overall, the fracture of the tailbone will heal in most patients about 2 months after the fracture, when the pain disappears and the patient can go down to normal activities, walk and work normally. During the period when the fracture is not healed, bed rest should be taken as much as possible to avoid stimulation of the fracture end by getting up and moving around, which may lead to displacement of the fracture. Avoid pressure and friction on the tailbone area during bed rest, mainly in the lateral and prone positions. In addition, it is important to enhance nutrition and eat foods rich in calcium, protein and vitamins to promote the healing of the fracture.
