A member asked:
Is a chronic fracture with early cystic changes bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, it is not idea: a chronic fracture would imply it is not healing…cystic changes is implying the surrounding bone is porous and the bone is not as strong…your doctor should suggest how to help heal the fracture..
