A member asked:

A child that has had a broken forearm, had a rod inserted and later removed? is the arm as good as new?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

If not it will be: It's good to be a kid, they heal almost anything. Bone is a very simple organ, all it does is make more bone. Typically it takes about 6 weeks for a fracture to heal. Then another 3-4 weeks for the new bone to.

It can be: Depends on the injury and how long it has been since the rod was removed.
