Prolonged healing of fractures

From WikiLectures

The term prolonged fracture healing means that the healing time is longer than the expected healing time of the fracture (6-8 weeks).

It's being resolved:

  • by prolonging immobilization;
  • in fractures conservatively treated by operative osteosynthesis;
  • sometimes spongioplasty is also performed.
