How long does it take for a minor fracture to heal?

  Minor fractures usually take about 8 weeks to heal.  In minor fractures, the fracture is less violent and the fracture is not displaced or not displaced much, so the recovery is faster and the bone scab grows faster. After the fracture, the limb should be elevated to help reduce the local swelling and ice to reduce the local swelling and exudation of the fracture. 48 hours later, you can change to hot compress to improve the local blood circulation, and you can also use safflower oil topically to help the healing of the fracture site. After 1 month of injury, the bone scab will start to grow and the pain will gradually disappear. After 8 weeks of injury, most of the patients will have bone scab growth, fracture line is blurred, fracture is basically healed, local pain will disappear, and they can move freely.  Therefore, even if the fracture is minor, you should not put weight on the ground within 8 weeks. You need to do functional exercises in bed under the guidance of the doctor and take oral bone grafting medication to accelerate the recovery.
