Hi Doc, I had a motor bike crash on 6th of March 2014 and i was operated the next day with a titanium plate and few screws on the distal femur and 2 screws few inches above knee. I visited the surgeon 1 week back and he said callus not yet started forming, hence I cannot bear full weight now since cracks are still shown in xray. I am worried as it is nearing 3 months now. Pls suggest what can I do to make it heal faster as it is affecting my personal and professional life to a great extent.
Hi, as you mentioned you had a motorbike accident and also have undergone the surgery for the same. Usually Lower limbs take 6-8 weeks of time to heal the fr acute, but later it is also depending upon the type of the fracture and the way the body responds. All human body is different and each have its own physiology to heal. Since your healing is delayed you may have to take additional calcium from other sources like - milk, curd, medicines etc. Also taking a good sunbath will help add-on vitamin D. I request you to allow the healing of bone as weight being joints and bones stands an importance for the future. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
