A member asked:
How much time until the periosteum regrows?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
8 weeks: The periosteum is the lining of the bone from which much of bone growth and healing occurs. Healing is based upon area of bone involved, blooded supply to the bone and a number of other factors. That being said, most bone heals in the 8-12 week range.
