A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a linear skull fracture in my left temporo paretial bone. recovery time? and when can i resume football/weight training/gym? thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

6 - 12 weeks: Healing is a gradual process, as filling a glass pouring liquid. If there was no brain damage, no broken blood vessels inside your skull, and no loss of consciousness, I believe you could start easy weight training now. Maximum strength of the fracture healing I estimate at 12 weeks, so I would not do full unrestricted contact sports for 12 weeks, and then only if you are symptom free.
