Bone fracture is a medical term for a broken bone in any part of the body. We suffer this bone fracture due to some unfortunate occurrences like falls, accidents etc. This injury is common in people who have family history of osteoporosis or low calcium intake in daily diet. Broken bones are also common in older people.
When someone has broken a bone due to some unfortunate occurrence, surgery may be required to repair it. But it’s not always the case. Sometimes the broken bone is mild and only requires a splint or splint to heal. The time it takes for a broken bone to heal depends on the damage and the part of the bone. Typically, a minor fracture takes 4-8 weeks to heal properly.
The medical expert can perform some tests to identify the location and damage to the bone. There are usually some tests performed by the doctors, which are CT scans and X-rays. The doctor will tell you about the saturation of your bone and whether or not surgery is needed to fix it.
The doctor may also recommend some pain relievers for a shorter period of time to get rid of the pain until the bruises heal.
