A member asked:
Is it possible for a broken elbow to heal less than 6 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Fractures generally heal in 6-8 weeks however in the elbow it depends upon WHERE the fracture is. Avulsion fractures (known as "chip" fractures usually heal a lot faster! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
