A member asked:
How much time it takes to recover when there is a fracture in your shin bone and fixed with external fixator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult ortho: The rate of healing from a fracture varies according to age of patient, circulation, nutrition, compliance with treatment and severity and type of fracture. I suggest consulting with the person that applied the EF or with someone who has access to your xrays and can get historical information from you.
