How long will it take for a teen to recover from a growth plate injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Growth plates typically begin to close in the early teens. An injury to the growth plate is a fracture and fractures take 8 to 12 weeks to heal. If the fracture is separated or displaced then the patient may need to be put in a cast or have surgery, depending on the severity.
