How long can humerus fracture bear weight

First, how long you can walk with normal load after fracture recovery depends on the healing of your own callus. It is not recommended to walk with load too early before fracture healing, so as to avoid plate fracture or bone fracture again.

Second, the process of fracture healing is divided into three stages: 1. Hematoma organization stage, in which the growth of fiber connection takes about 2 weeks. 2. Callus formation stage, that is, the fracture has reached the clinical healing stage, which takes about 2 months. 3. During the callus shaping stage, the bone marrow cavity is recanalized, and it takes about 2 years to recover.

Basically, the callus can be shaped slowly in the third stage. Time is about 8 weeks later, help double crutches down to gradually load. Until the fracture healed solidly, it took 3 months. At this time, the crutch could be abandoned.

matters needing attention

For the sake of safety, you can take a film during about 2 weeks. If the callus formation is obvious, you can rest assured to carry out weight-bearing activities. In the diet, we should pay attention not to apply fat and nourishing products too early, such as bone soup, fat chicken, stewed fish, etc., otherwise the blood stasis is stagnant and difficult to dissipate, which will delay the course of disease, slow the growth of callus and affect the recovery of joint function in the future.
