Recovery from a tailbone fracture takes about 3 months, and the exact healing time varies from person to person and is related to the patient’s age and treatment. Tailbone fracture is a relatively common type of incomplete fracture in which the fractured end is not completely displaced. It can be caused by direct violence, indirect violence, or fatigue fracture and manifests as local pain, pressure, swelling, and even petechiae and functional impairment. The speed of tailbone fracture healing is related to the patient’s age. Generally, children and young adults with strong body metabolism and strong remodeling ability of the body will have faster fracture healing, which may be healed in about 8 weeks. In the case of an elderly person with a tailbone fracture, the healing rate will be slower due to poor blood flow supply and may take about 12 weeks or even longer. It is important to take better care after a tailbone fracture to avoid pressure on the broken end and deformed healing of the fracture. Healing time can also be prolonged if treatment is not given as directed by the physician or if treatment is not timely. After a tailbone fracture occurs, patients should pay attention to bed rest and avoid excessive activities to prevent displacement of the tailbone area stimulated by pressure, and can take some oral medications to promote fracture healing and pain relief. In daily life, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition, you can properly eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D to promote the healing of fracture, such as milk, lean meat, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, do functional exercises appropriately under the guidance of the doctor.
