A member asked:
How difficult is it to recover a long bone fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat: It takes time for the fracture to heal. During that time joints can get stiff and muscles get weak. It takes time to rehab. Difficulty depends on how bad the break is and the amount of soft tissue damage.
