Blurred fracture lines indicate that the fracture is healing, but not completely healed. At this time, the bone strength at the fracture site has not fully recovered, and it is easy to cause secondary fracture due to minor trauma, so it is recommended not to go to work.
Blurred fracture lines mostly indicate that the fracture is healing, but most of them are not completely healed. Especially for the fracture in weight-bearing position, do not blindly do excessive exercise and weight-bearing work, as it may easily lead to re-fracture.
The criteria for clinical healing of fracture are: blurred fracture line and continuous bone scab line through the fracture; no localized pressure, percussion pain, abnormal activities; upper limb lifting 1,000g for one minute, and the lower limb walking continuously for three minutes with no less than thirty steps. If these criteria are met, it is also recommended to continue to rest for a period of time until the bone strength is further restored before going to work.
After a fracture, you should go to the hospital for regular checkups and functional exercises as prescribed by the doctor. Do not risk going to work or bearing weight when the fracture has not fully healed, as it may cause re-fracture.
