Some times when somebody get injure or accident and it causes leg or hand broken it used to be tough especially when it is an elderly somebody.

The worse the break or older the person, the longer healing takes.
Children's bones mend rapidly. Those of old people sometimes never join. A broken arm should be kept in a cast for about a month, and no force put on it for another month. A broken leg should remain in a cast for about 2 month.
Its used to be very difficult to heal up the wound of an older once than the children own.

Something happened recently to one of my labor when she got accident from a bike and her two legs got broken. Before the leg could heal up uses up to 6 month yet the leg is not balance at all.


So my advice to every body is that one should be very careful on how we make use of our body abdctry to get away from what can cause us an accident.

Your own idea is welcome on this very question because I know you may have something important to tell us.

It takes a long time for a broken wound to heal because it is not something that can easily get cured easily.Especially if the leg is being worked on. The person will spend some time using crushes for a particular period of time before such will be limping

I'm not sure how long it takes for broken bones to heal as it depends on a lot of factors, not just age but also the type and location of the fracture. But it's good to know that being in a cast, especially if you have broken your leg and you are on bed rest, that you should take medications to prevent blood clots - some doctors ignore this.

Bones are one of the very important part of human body. We cannot move without bones. Some people have weaker bones as compared to other. The overall health of bones depend on various factors such as age, genetics, medications, etc. Obviously, older people have weaker bones as bone degenerate with age. So, if you are an old person, you should not expect your bones to heal faster. In fact, nowadays many young people are also facing the issue of bone loss. Certain medications could also induce bone loss.

So you must research for such medications and talk to your doctor about it. It is quite possible that your doctor might suggest some sort of alternative medications if you face such issues. You must also consume foods that are rich in probiotics, as a few studies indicate that probiotics might stop bone loss. Vegetables that are rich in magnesium could also be really good for your bones. If you got a fracture, then you may still feel pain if your bones.

Whenever the density of the bone degenerate that is what leads to weak bones, it is always as a result of normal aging process in an individual and sometimes it could be as a result of severe lack of certain vitamins from the body such as vitamin c ( esteomalacia ) this condition causes the bone to be extremely weak and thereby can easily be broken with little pressure or stress..

At the point when the thickness of the bone savage that prompts frail bones, it is consistently because of ordinary maturing process in an individual and now and then it very well may be because of serious absence of specific nutrients from the body like L-ascorbic acid ( esteomalacia ) this condition makes the bone be incredibly feeble and consequently can undoubtedly be broken with little strain or stress..

For the most part an individual can participate in exercise to reinforce the bones since exercise can assist with developing the bone thickness of a person to endure pressure , and an individual likewise may choose to fortify the Bond by taking in of specific nutrients, it can likewise assist with reinforcing the bones..

Speaking of broken bones generally, I am not saying that I know the specific amount of time it takes but what I am sure about is that it should not take more than three to four weeks based on my experience. Well no one should get me wrong, I am not trying to say that I am a medical practitioner in any way or even a physician but what I was trying to point out is the fact that I know of someone that it once happened and throughout the process of the healing, I was there to see the whole process from A to Z, the doctor basically told us that if the case of the leg should take more than that period of time, then a surgery would be the next option

When my wife was 30 she suffered a fracture in her arm (it is called humerus which is the bone between the elbow and shoulder). I brought her to the hospital and had the arm in cast. But after 2 days my wife's sister who is a nurse brought her to a specialist for another x-ray. The bone will heal slowly and it will be a discomfort to have the arm in a cast for months. The prescription is to implant a brace to connect the broken bone. And so that is what they did. My wife had to undergo therapy so her left hand would be back to normal. Fortunately she was back to her ways after a month and the healing continued. Having a fracture can devastate you especially for the older people. That is why seniors should always be careful in their movement to avoid slipping or tripping that can cause a bone fracture when you fall.

From some little medical observation and knowledge that I have, bone healing is usually within a period of 7 to 14 days and you do not necessarily have to rush the process as this is not necessarily is ecstatic demand that you should be expecting .

The physiological state of individuals also determine how long the bone healing process will take .
If you are suffering from a sickness at the time the bone injury occurs , there is high likelihood of the fact that your own time of feeling for that injury will definitely be longer than normal for other people.

Like you have also pointed out, it also plays a very important role in how long bone healing process will take . It is usually very fast in young people than it is in old people . This is usually because young people are still active and their bones can easily regain the Lost minerals and then build up easily , not like the case of old people who have lost so much minerals found their body and returning it is going to be difficult .

In summary , just make sure that you adhere to what the hospital expect of you to follow .
