Yes, can heal: Yes, your body can heal a fracture but you will need a brace for a time. Also you will need to temporarily stop the activity associated with the fracture, such as athletics -- so that healing can evolve. Please discuss with your orthopedist or physical medicine and rehab physician. If depressed, you may need treatment for this also -- your doctor can help you get this assistance.
