A member asked:
What to do if i have a tibial tuberoisty evulsion fracture and i am wondering how long it takes to get back to football and sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-ray: An x-ray would show whether there is an avulsion fracture. If there is, it takes bones 4-6 weeks to heal properly. You should consult a sports medicine specialist about getting back to football soon but without risking further injury or problem.
