A member asked:
Have my muscles around a broken bone deteriorated as a result of the break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fracture: Your muscles haven't necessarily deteriorated but have decreased in their size due to the lack of use. When it comes to muscle, the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it" holds true. But no worries, if your fracture was treated correctly you should be able to make full recovery and regain your original muscle mass and strength.
