Question 2

does a nondisplaced nasal fracture heal itself?

Accepted Answer

Nasal fracture: Yes, a non-displaced nasal fracture will heal without intervention.  Even a displaced fracture will heal, although it usually heals in the wrong spot.  Just be careful of further nasal trauma as the nasal bones, in their already weakened state, could shift into an undesireable location.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes, the density: Of the bone could be evaluated it would be washed out. I would have your vitamin D levels checked.

Question 5

can a nondisplaced hook of the hamate fracture heal is 5 weeks with no treatment and is there still pain after 5 weeks?

Accepted Answer

It varies: It varies somewhat, but most fractures heal in the 6-8 week range.  If it is still painful at 5 weeks, it is either because it is still healing, or their may have been an additional component to the injury.  Thank you for the question.

Question 6

whats the safest way to return to activity after my nondisplaced hairline fracture of my tibial plateau heals? is a stationary bike safe?

Low impact exercise: After being cleared by your treating doctor, start with low impact activities. Cycling and swimming are two good options.

Question 7

is it more difficult & lengthy process to treat & recover from a stress fracture of the foot or is it worse for a nondisplaced 4th metasaursal break?

Accepted Answer

Varies.: A stress fracture and a non displaced fracture of the fourth metatarsal are not mutually exclusive.  a stress fracture simply implies the mechanism of the fracture occurrence.  When a serious of stresses is applied to a bone that overcomes the bones ability to remodel and recover from stress, a stress fracture occurs.  These fractures often respond to a reduction in the activity that led to it.

Question 8

after 4th metatarsal nondisplaced fracture completely healed will foot be back to normal & i can wear same types of shoes that i wore prior to break?

Accepted Answer

Broken foot bone: I would expect you to be able to return completely to your normal shoes and activities.   Best wishes to you.

Accepted Answer

A primary healing: usually takes 6 weeks, and then it continues to mold and get more strength. It also depends upon your overall health and immunity state. And your calcium and bone mineral state.

Add calcium to your diet and increase water.

Wish you good luck.
