Compound Fracture

Hi!!

Could you please provide me details on Compound Fracture in lower extremity. I have few questions related to it:

How long does it take to recover? Can it be comletely cured?
Does the surgery involve use of rods, plates or screws?

Hi Vipul,
Is it that you are diagnosed as having compound fracture?
I would like to know whether you have displaced fracture or non-displaced fracture?
Is it open fracture or closed fracture?
What is the site of fracture and what is its pattern?
If you say it is compound fracture, ideally it takes 6-12 weeks to heal.
You can regain range of motion around the affected joint early, but weight bearing will be delayed.
It depends on type of fracture to say whether rods, plates and screws would be used or not.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
