Can you swim after a fracture?

Swimming is not allowed in the early stages after a fracture, no matter where the fracture is located in the body, because swimming is a whole body movement, and the hands, feet, spine and lower extremities must be coordinated in order to form a swimming movement. If you go swimming in the early stage of the fracture, when the bone is not fully grown and stable, there is a risk that the fracture may be re-dislocated, leading to a later deformed healing or to a sudden local swelling and a reappearance of pain. After the fracture is completely healed, it is necessary to wait for at least three months to see obvious bone scab formation on the film, and there is no obvious local pressure pain and longitudinal percussion pain, and only after the local functional exercise, the function of the limb returns to normal, can you gradually try swimming.
