The swelling of the fracture usually takes 1-2 weeks, but it depends on the fracture, the location and the age of the patient, etc. The more severe the fracture, the longer the swelling will take. For example, if the patient has a tibiofibular fracture, and the injury is long, painful, swelling is severe, and the fracture end is displaced, the swelling will generally take a little longer, usually 2-3 weeks. If the nasal bone is slightly fractured and there is a slight swelling, the swelling time will be shorter and the swelling will be completely reduced in 3-7 days. For clavicle fractures, if the fracture is in a good position the swelling usually subsides in 1-2 weeks. The most difficult part of the fracture to reduce swelling is the heel bone, and it takes about 5-7 weeks to completely eliminate swelling in a heel bone fracture. Patients with multiple fractures throughout the body and severe fractures will take longer to eliminate the swelling, depending on the recovery of the fracture end. Patients with fractures should be encouraged to perform functional exercises, such as muscle strength training, ankle bungee training, and isometric contraction training, which are helpful in reducing the swelling of the affected limb. For patients with limb fractures, after fixing the affected limb, the affected limb can be padded higher than the heart, which can promote peripheral blood circulation and facilitate the elimination of the swelling of the affected limb.
