The recovery time for a traumatic bone injury depends largely on the location and severity of the injury. For minor bone injuries, such as a simple ankle fracture with no obvious displacement, conservative treatment is usually given, with plaster casts or splints for about five weeks, after which the external fixation is removed. If you can actively carry out rehabilitation and functional exercises, it usually takes about eight weeks to return to normal. If the fracture is serious, such as a comminuted fracture of the femoral stem, surgery is required. The fracture should not be fully weight-bearing within three months after the operation, and the X-ray should be taken after three months to show that the fracture has healed. At the same time, the fracture requires active rehabilitation and functional exercises before it can return to normal. The recovery time of this kind of bone injury will be longer, usually it takes more than half a year to recover, and some patients may take up to one year or more before they can return to normal.
