A member asked:
When do you reach bony union on bayonet apposition? how many months will it take and will the cast take off if there is bony union?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bony apposition: Usually if the bones are aligned after a fracture, it takes about 2-3 months for bones to unite (assuming all other health factors are neutralized). Generally, a cast can come off 6-8 weeks after treatment and transitioned into a splint device to physical therapy and then back to activities.
