A member asked:
Can your bone be stronger after it heals from a fracture?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No. Once the bone is healed it can be equally as strong as before, but not stronger.

No: We heal only upto 80% original body strength and reinjury healing 80% of the previous healing so each injury places a detrimental role in healing.
