How long does it take to go from limping to walking normally after a fracture?

Walking from limp to normal after fracture usually takes 3~6 months, which is related to the type and severity of the fracture as well as the rehabilitation exercises and the physical condition of the individual. 1. Local factors: Generally speaking, comminuted fracture heals relatively slowly, simple fracture heals faster, closed fracture heals shorter than open fracture, the richer the blood supply of the fracture site, the faster the fracture heals; if the fracture site is infected, it will also lead to prolonged healing time. 2. Systemic factors: Generally speaking, the younger the fracture, the faster the healing time. Adults usually take at least three months, but newborns may take two to three weeks, and older people will take longer to heal. 3. Other: In addition to this, postoperative rehabilitation exercises such as lower limb joint flexion and extension functional exercises and leg muscle strength exercises after fracture fixation will affect the recovery time. Generally 3~6 months after surgery can return to normal. Therefore, it generally takes 3~6 months, but it will be affected by a variety of factors, you can consult the doctor at the clinic.
