How long does it take to review a fractured tailbone

After a tailbone fracture, the tailbone can be reviewed at the outpatient clinic once a week for about two weeks after the injury, and later reviews can be done as often as necessary. Most tailbone fractures are caused by a fall and landing on the tailbone, and usually do not cause serious sequelae. The tailbone is located at the end of the spine and under the skin of the sacrococcygeal area, and there are few ligaments and muscle tissues attached around it. Once it is impacted by violence, the tailbone is easily fractured and dislocated to the front, which may also lead to the fracture not being easily maintained after reset. Therefore, before the fracture is completely healed within 6-8 weeks after the injury, you should avoid sitting, lying on your back and other tailbone stressing movements, and you can use a washer around the tailbone when you have to sit to avoid weight bearing. If the patient is in severe pain or still in pain 4 weeks after the injury, a timely review is needed, except for rectal perforation and non-healing of the tailbone.
