My son had a fracture in the upper arm humerus. I wanted to quickly understand how the bone heals.. and this is a perfect quick video that explains straight to the point. Thank you so much.

[@proy7181]

it depends on the type of fracture for example there are types such as...comminuted,greenstick etc..out of which comminuted is kinda scary if the fracture is not huge ...it will take max one month...or it its huge then maximum 2-2.5 months

[@proy7181]

however serious commuted ones take enormous time and needs surgeries...i hope your son is doing well now🌎

This explains why after 6-8 weeks post fracture healing, on resuming activity some people again refracture in the same spot, because the fracture healed is not solid enough.

[@CrazyPalidin57]

Sounds like you're in a similar situation as me. 😂. I broke the 2nd 3rd and 4th metatarsals behind the toe knuckle as well as shattered and dislocated my cuboid bone. The Dr said I'd be no weight bearing for at least 8 to 12 weeks. But for me, I needed surgery that I didn't get for two weeks after the accident, so my recovery clock started over. All from a low-speed. motorcycle accident. Good luck.

[@hunterellis8714]

I am like 4-5 months out from breaking the fifth metacarpal bone at the neck, pretty much i broke the knuckle off the bone and i remember at the 2 week mark when i went in to have my cast removed to start doing the finger buddy system, the whole palm of my hand was dark blue, it was crazy looking, i had broken my hand before but the second time was much worse. I have been struggling the pain even months after, my hand gets achy and sometimes i can feel the bone shifting around which is a creepy feeling, moral of the story is do not be like me, seek help for your anger problems before your body teaches you instead, i regret both times and it all happened so quick but the pain helps me never to forget, my hand is deformed and it will likely be for a long time, i pray i never break another bone.

Hey Dr Nabil, Just recently fractured the outer bone of my thumb (distal phalanx) on a table saw. The cut goes right diagonally through the pad and leaving a gap in the bone about 15mm deep and 5mm wide. Nonetheless the bone is still sort of one piece, just connecting to the bottom bit on one side. I am now wondering whether bone is generally capable of growing back over "big" gaps like that. Is it a matter of time, personal healing ability of the body or does it need some luck? I'd greatly appreciate your response! Thanks Simon
