A member asked:
What is healing time for a clavicle compound fracture that required surgery with a bone graft after improper healing.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Open nonunion: Each fracture has its own personality: worse prognosis with open, comminuted, malunion, nonunion. It depends upon the host immunity, health, and healing potential of the bone and soft tissues. May be 6 weeks to 6 months.
