10 yr old has accessory navicular fr.had boots for 3 wks. walked/played a lot, didn't heal and is in cast for 3 weeks. is 3 weeks enough to heal now ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing fractures: If your child is compliant with recommendations about rest and limitations on activity, 3 weeks should be enough. If they continue with normal activity it will prolong healing even longer (that's why they had to have a cast).
