A member asked:
Fractures of c1 and c2, bones show vertical cracks. after over 15 weeks there is no evidence of healing and no known situation or condition to cause ?

Interesting...: Did you have any trauma to cause the fracture? Healing depends on your age, other medical problems, and degree of displacement with the fractures and whether or not you were immobilized (e.g. Collar etc.) and bone quality. Many fractures usually heal within 3 months if only minimally displaced and immobilized. Key things to know is whether you are symptomatic (pain, neuro deficit) or unstable.
