Healing of a depressed skull fracture deformity usually takes about 3 to 4 months.
Depressed fractures of the base of the skull are mainly caused by external blows to the skull, and the fracture will be displaced and depressed. If the fracture is not displaced by more than one centimeter and does not cause complications such as intracranial hemorrhage, it can be treated conservatively and usually takes about 3 months to heal completely.
If the fracture is comminuted, the displacement of the fracture is relatively large, or intracranial hematoma and brain tissue damage and other complications, generally need to follow the doctor’s advice to take surgical treatment, at this time the recovery will be slower, about 4 months to recover, or even longer.
It is recommended that patients with cranial depression fracture deformity should seek timely medical attention and active treatment under the guidance of the doctor, in order to achieve early recovery.
