A member asked:
Healing period for compound fracture of radius and ulna right arm cast one week ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends but: Typically most fracture heal in about 3 months but may continue remodelling for up to a year. After three months most fractures are healed to the point where there are no restrictions. That is also true for compound fractures but it depends on their severity.
