Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Fracture healing at all ages normally takes six weeks. So we can follow up after six weeks to see if the fracture has healed.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Does not the cartilage take longer to heal than a bone?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Cartilage healing takes longer only in the setting of repetitive trauma otherwise, the healing process remains the same and takes the same duration.
