A member asked:
How long before one would make the call of non union of a broke neck? healing has been very slow in some of the fractures others show no healing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We use: 6-8 weeks for determining union in simple fractures...larger bones require more time. 2-3 months would be my limit for cervical vertebral fractures My opinion only Dr Z
