How long does it take for a broken bone to heal completely?

Because the cast was on for 6-8 weeks, the muscles were weakened considerably in that wrist. Sometimes in a compound brake-fragments of bone do not heal exactly straight. Sometimes a nerve gets pinched or tweaked. Is it your dominant hand? You could try simple exercises like squeezing a stress ball that is made of soft foam and does not put much pressure on the tendons/ligaments. You have to gradually build the wrist strength up. Normal- I don't know. If it bothers you-schedule an appointment with a doctor.

Fractures take 6-8 weeks to heal.  I am presuming that no surgery was necessary to fix the bones/that you have no pins in place.  Given that you will need to stay off the foot until the bones are healed.  It will not be pain free once the cast (you may not even be in a cast yet, but you will be) comes off, but use your head about activity.\n\nThe tarsals can be a tricky group of bones to get complete healing.  Your doctor may be waiting for the swelling to decrease and for things to settle down before making any prognosis.  Ask him or her at your next appointment.  With this group of bones, it is entirely possible you that you will need physical therapy.  Ask you doctor about a "Les Franc" injury.  This is a special case that has a particularly bleak prognosis as far as your foot ever being normal again. \n\nIs there anything to do right now?  Not really.  If you smoke, stop.  Eat a healthy diet.  Keep things elevated and iced.  \n\nIs there some sort of desk duty or something you can do at your work, because if you need full use of your foot to do your work, its going to be a few months.

2 weeks for a calous to form. 6-8 weeks to heal. 6 months to a year depending on your age and health for maxium integrity.

With injuries that extensive, three months recovery is still quite early to expect all to be as new, if at all.\n\nThe best person to ask about this is your doctor.  He knows the exact extent of your injuries and probable recouperation time.\nHe would also know if something needed to be done now or if you should just continue recovering.\n\nGood luck

I guess you have to live with it, I had to walk with a limp for 2 months after a soccer injury, because when I went to see a bone specialist they said there isnt much they could do (because it was just a crack and it was in the end of the femur bone of my thigh)

Hate to tell you this, but normal recovery takes 6 months to one year.  Sorry!  Hope you feel better.

A femur fracture that has to be repaired is going to be a long time in the healing. Femur fractures are extremely painful and dangerous due to their proximity to the femoral artery. But as far as surgery goes if the Doc knows what he's doing it's a long but fairly safe procedure. Good luck!

Lis franc is the most troublesome fracture of the foot.\n3-4 months are required for recovery and healing after surgery, then 4 more months of physical therapy.

You probably broke your little toe. At the very least you probably cracked the little bone.  It will get better but takes a month or so.

I would recommend seeing a DR. They will be able to do some x-rays and tell you exactly what you have damaged. After 6 months, I don't think much could be done. Tendons heal differently to bones, they will never be as strong as they used to be. Get a DR's opinion before you start trying to claim on your insurance.

Bone is unique in that it heals with its own tissue, rather than with scar tissue. This amazing capacity for regeneration enables a mending bone to completely heal itself. Especially after a stress fracture. Even shattered fragments of bone can often be restored to their normal function. This sounds very encouraging, but always consult a doctor whether continuing to run will be painful and not result in permanent damage. Doctors can make compromises and let you push out the rest of the season even though you are in pain. As was my case, I continued cross-country training in blinding pain from multi-stress fractures. There were no permanent effects as a result. These things heal up well.

Despite the fact that you have minimal pain, it could still be a boxers fracture. A lot of boxers fractures are simply small hairline cracks along the length of the bone. I have had many over the years, and they generally take about 6 weeks to heal completely. The only sign that my hand was ever injured is minor arthritis, mostly caused by the heavy construction and logging I've done in the past. Unless you have damaged the cartilage, there is no reason your hand shouldn't heal fine, without lasting effects.

I had a broken vessel a few years ago that took about 3 weeks to completely resolve.  I think you can expect it to last at least 2 weeks and probably up to a month.

It depends on whether it is just stretched or if it's partially or wholly torn, but if the severity of the injury and the ability to keep the injured body part immoble for a period is equal, the healing time would also be more or less the same.

It can take up to six months for the entire hole to heal up...very normal.

Ouch - that hurts!  I broke my clavicle when I was 15 too (now 36).  I only broke it in one place and that was painful enough.  Although it healed and is stable, I can still feel where the bones overlap and fused in that position.\n\nI have heard of surgery being performed but it is very unusual.  Sometimes it is pinned.  The splint should allow things to heal properly but it will take around 6-8 weeks.  Need to make sure that the middle section doesn't displace and cause complications, i.e. brachial plexus injury, lung problems.
