I just got home from the hospital, where I was initially rushed to the surgery room after I hit a deer on my motorcycle, totaling my bike and horribly breaking my leg and shoulder. Not a day later, I went in for surgery that took more than 8 hours. I got at least 25 screws put in my leg, the doctor even said he lost count. I have another surgery scheduled for next week, hoping it goes well. The technical diagnosis was, type III open fracture of distal end of right fibula and tibia. Closed dislocation of right shoulder girdle. Acidosis, lactic. Fracture of humeral head, right, closed. I have a long road off recovery ahead of me, and the surgeon said I will definitely have arthritis for the rest of my life in that ankle, and I may never regain full mobility... before the surgery he even mentioned amputation.. Now, it might sound crazy, but I'm most upset about my bike.. I really loved riding it more than anything, and now it's gone in a blink of an eye. That being said, I am so grateful to have walked away from this experience with my life, and it really puts things into perspective. I'm sure I will ride one day again, but now my focus is on being still, and healing.

On my third month and two days and feel better than ever, mostly mentaly, got my brace tooken off finally like in 2 months and a half, while with the brace on i started to feel my arm more stiffer like sticked together, like you feel the diference. Now you probably will be feeling like the bones scraping each other like broken pieces of stick, it's so annoying. And the worst is bathing and sleeping. I used to put a plastic bag on my arm and just use a bowl to wash my privates and one side of my body
whether the bone becomes longer because the cartilage fills the space between, and then it is replaced by bone tissue? it does not add length? or parts of the bone are somehow magnetizing back together?
I have a dislocated shoulder and can start deadlifting without stress after 3 weeks of healing. Still can't do exercises like squats due to shoulder mobility that's required. I can start to do push ups again but only very carefully and not to true failure. My limitations at this point is pull ups, rows, bench press and squats. Otherwise it's healing quite nicely.
44 years old woman.Took me 50 days to go from broken Tibia and fibula break to not needing my boot.Had a rod put in with nails on day 2 of break no cast.Naproxen was my go to for pain relief.Tensor bandages are still needed just for support but I don't really walk too much differently at this point I am about 90% healed.I thought it would take much much more time to heal.I am also immuncompromised on biological medication.I have crohns disease.I would suggest buying some muscle rubs for the leg.Elevate leg nightly still at this point.Epsom salt baths are good.Make sure to take vitamin D and calcium every day!

Hi Could you maybe go in depth as to which resources each stage needs for optimal repair? We've got a kitten (9months) healing post operation of a comminuted femoral fracture and I want him to heal as good as possible. Which foods do i need to give, should I introduce more cat milk in his diet for increased calcium intake? Any vitamins or other supplements which would make sure each stage would go perfectly?
Broke a clavicle (collarbone) and I’m on week two! I can finally move my arm without as much pain but the giant lump of bone rebuilding is so noticeable 😂
Let me know what your attitude is three years from the break, four surgeries, still can’t walk and two weeks ago fell getting out of bed and have a closed tibial plateau fracture. I’m getting weaker and weaker. If the X-ray tomorrow shows minimal healing from so much bone loss, I’m going to…yeah, count your blessings, people, it could be a lot worse.
How long would you say it take for ligaments and tendons to heal too? Broke my humerus boxing and I’m on 6 months for some reason when I push I feel slight pulling in the area the break happen and my elbow pops a lot now😭 also struggling to get fast movements again

Hi, I'm 50 this yr.. I fell from height at work and had facture at 6 places.. both side hip, both thigh, both knee.. 6 implants. It's going 2 yrs in 3 months, all are healing well even removed the implants in my knee.. BUT, both my thigh (femur) were not healing. Did total 5 surgeries on both my femur.. first subsequent surgery was due to implants slippage, second was bone graft to help healing (failed), third was putting the fractured bones nearer to help healing ( cause tremendous pain when walking, failed), fourth was to switch out old implants for so called bigger implants to help healing, (cause even more pain at more places, again failed).. I did physical therapy thru out the yrs but always disappointed with the x-ray results.. Does anyone knows if my femur bones will fully heal even after such long time?? Or anything at all that might help my recovery.. Thank!

Hello Dear Sir, Sir my tibial implant was done 22 months ago. screw infection was occured, 3 months post operation, at distal end. A screw itself came out after 6 months of surgery due to infection. and other one was removed by surgery, the infection went away and came from time to time, it was controlled by using antibiotics, pus and blood come out from the screw point uptill now. Doctor said that nail must be removed now, but may be this infection does appear after nail removal also!! what would be the appropriate way to eliminate the infection completly? Please suggest me best possible solutions! Thank you.

Thanks for this video it is really helpful I am studying anatomy for vet nursing and finding it a challenge you channel is great. Do you have any on membraneous and endochondral bone formation it is something I am stuck on. Thanks heaps.
Bony callus looks like swelling to most people. I have a boxer’s fracture that is probably in the remodeling phase. My knuckle looks bigger than normal. What can I reasonably expect as far as the original bone integrity? Going into nursing next year and dealing with this was a good review of this process. Thanks in advance
@@jimmysmithjr.1820 it’s healing. It just takes a long time. Go to a doctor so they can put your hand I. The right splint. That is very important or it won’t heal right. It took about 4 months for it to fully heal
@@oguzsozer8347 it can. But it’s never perfect. I’m guessing you are feeling what I’m feeling. I was on these message boards a long time and no one responded. My knuckle still feels “larger” and achy. And this happened last September so I’m hoping it gets even more better than it has. But for the most part my hand function is back to normal and the aches I feel are very very small. This may be due to the disfigurement that it suffers but mostly boxers fractures heal just fine “for all intensive purposes of course. Maybe in another year it will look more like it used too! The hard part is seeing it seem larger or different. Unfortunately this may just be the way it will look for me. But my report is that my hand function is not hindered once so ever. And yours should be the same way if you wear the splint the way your were instructed. That being said just give it time. A lot of time actually. It will never be the same but if you worry about hand use for home or work I would worry unless u needed screw and surgery. I didn’t but it was bad. Any other questions I will try to answer don’t worry so much
How to increase bones after growthplates fused,without any painful precise 2 Limb lenghthing surgey. Please let is there any way to increase atleast 1foot height.
That's fine but most breaks are not shaped like this, mine split in half vertically. How does this heal, right now in a cast NO WEIGHT BEARING. 70 too weak to use crutches or knee walker. I am miserable.
I broke my 2nd and 3rd Metatarsals. No pain from 2nd Day of fracture. Dr. Suggested me 6 weeks cast and rest as much as i can. He will remove cast after Xray at 6th week. Need your prayers.
A stupid question but does the broken bone become longer than before since there appears to be bone created in the gap of the fracture? I am approaching my 5th week since a car hit me and broke my tibia right in the middle. Luckily, I didnt have to operate since the fracture was very well aligned, which apparently only occurs in 10% of similar case. The doctors approximated the healing time in leg cast to at least 16 weeks and probably even longer for it to fully rehabilitate, which totally blows. Since I live in Sweden, I get squat in monetary compensation. Apart from my ordinary salary which I would have received for any health related absence from my job, I ONLY get about 300 USD a month in reparation from the guy who hit me (100% his fault; it happened on a crosswalk when ran against red light). That is like one day of overtime at my current job.
I have a broken finger , the doctor said after 2weeks it’s gonna be alright and he putted me and thingy that keeps the finger straight he said for kids 2 weeks and I’m 11
Hi Dr. Not a medical student here, just really concern why my bone callus still hasn’t gone away after 3 years. I injured my right feet 3 years ago and a non painful bump is still there. If i may ask, do you know why?
I believe you may have a bone spur, and they can sometimes form after a bone fracture, but I would urge you to go to a medical professional so they can diagnose it as I may not be correct. It's not life threatening but will not go away without a surgical procedure. I have attached an article with a bit more information. www.healthline.com/health/bone-spur-on-top-of-foot
@@Ella_02 can bone spur be viewed in x-ray? Because i did a few months ago and it came out normal. the doctor did acknowledge the bump on my foot but he don’t know what it is. It’s worrying, really
Thanks for this. I broke my arm right below the elbow 4 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago my arm was repositioned and recasted. Today my cast was taken off. Mobility is very limited and i am a bit scared.
Displaced fracture while arm wrestling here. I fractured my homerus right to the elbow, got surgery and placed a metal plate in 6 July. My mobility was shit but after 5 days of physiotherapy i got the full extension back and in 10 days the full mobility. Now it's 29 October, in 5th of October i did the visit with my doctor and did the x ray scan. He said that the fracture was clinically healed, but I have to wait again till my bone gets remodelled. He said that fracture heals completely after 6-12 months. So in 30 December I'll have another check and see if I healed completely and then finally i can start working out again. Then the next year I'll take out the metal plate from my arm ( idc about scars they become white after a while and once they are healed are badass too, I just want to feel good).
I'm training Right now just legs i went from a 70 kg squat to a 125 in just 2 and half months. I'm excited for the day till i start working out on my upper body too. Hope it will happen asap..
I'm on week 6 of a fibula / tibia break.. and my cast came off, my ankle has swollen to the size of a soft ball and I'm wondering when this.. deep tissue bruising feeling is going to go away. The doctor told me to stay off it for the first 3 days and then to start walking when I'm comfortable.. but walking doesn't cause pain.. resting afterwards does. :( Nothing seems to be helping my sore limb except sleep.. Any one else experiencing this?
Sup man. Im a junior in hs and broke my tib and fib August 27th in a soccer game. I've had 3 surgeries due to a hematoma exploding and also a staph infection. My infection is being treated effectively and my skin on my tibia side is starting to heal nicely. (My fibula side has had no complications but my tibia side is the one that has opened up and needed to be re-stitched) Throughout this whole process I my bone has been healing well and the only swelling I have is around my break near the ankle (the swelling is not very severe). I have yet to walk on it yet and will probably start in late November or early December (around week 12). My surgeon told me that once I get on my feet again I will experience a lot of swelling and discomfort. I would not worry to much about it. Im not sure when you start PT but that will definitely help with swelling. Good luck in the future man!
Hey Soli, I was involved in a bicycle road race seven months ago in Show Low, AZ. A truck t-boned a group of us at over 50 mph. He killed one and severely injured several of us. I have multiple broken bones to include a tibia that is now a non-union fracture. I will undergo a second surgery to correct the problem. I'm wondering how you are doing and if you can give me any words of advice ? I'm pretty worried as I have had about six surgeries already.
@@andrewbennett6193 how are you feeling months later.? I had tib/fib fracture 2 weeks ago and rod/screws. I'm still in boot and they talk starting weight bearing around 6 weeks after break. Why did they wait so long for you to start weight bearing?
@@joking6052 Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that this happened, I never saw the reply to my comment, but was notified of someone @ ing me in a different thread..

So it’s been 4months now nearly 5. I had 2 metal rods removed from my tibia. I can walk kinda limp. I’ve been to physical therapists and they have said I can’t run or play sports till 2023 basically can’t run for the whole year
Thanks you and I hope you feel better. I just had my second surgery on the tibia because it never healed. I had another rod and plate installed on it. I hope it works this time, I'm very worried.
@@kindadarkyknow5296 bro I had an open tib fracture and fibula broke too but not open and they said it will be completely healed in 6 months but I could walk in 6 weeks i needed surgery and they put metal rods in the bone. That fucking sucks that you can’t do sports for a year I hope that doesn’t happen to me.
@@RitzWood32 Broke my tibia and fibula. 5 months post-fracture, I walked around with a roller, now I walk with my nordic walking sticks (different than crutches) and I use my leg with full weight bearing - no pain on neither fibula or tibia. I do make progress but is very, very slow so hang in there. ♥
Don't rush anything. When you're ready, you'll be ready. I broke tib and fib, had IR fitted in both. First two weeks couldn't walk then slowly started to be able to move about (hobble) again. Took one month after surgery to slowly limp about and then fifth week light weight bearing. Sixth week was 70% weight bearing now its physio to walk properly again and strengthen leg muscles. Its a long road of normally 3/4 months

How's everyone doing? I coach my sons ice hockey team and he just broke his Tibia and fibula Friday night...bones were set perfectly, long cast but thankfully no surgery. Hoping for a speedy recovery
Dr does bone heals? Coz recently I was watching fox TV talk show. Some doctors said bones don't heal as the text book says. Am afraid as my ulna got fractured 2 weeks ago. Am 53.
I don't know who in history created the terms 'osteoclast' and 'osteoblast' but I think it should be reversed because I associate the 'blast' part as breaking down of bone, but unfortunately 'osteoblast' means bone formation. I don't know why scientists in history had to make medical terms so complicated.

whether the bone becomes longer because the cartilage fills the space between, and then it is replaced by bone tissue? it does not add length?
or parts of the bone are somehow magnetizing back together?
I have a dislocated shoulder and can start deadlifting without stress after 3 weeks of healing. Still can't do exercises like squats due to shoulder mobility that's required. I can start to do push ups again but only very carefully and not to true failure. My limitations at this point is pull ups, rows, bench press and squats. Otherwise it's healing quite nicely.
Dislocation is not as same as fracture. Soft tissue injuries may get aggravated by repeated insult. Hopefully not your case. Greetings.
What if having a shoulder being break. What to do?
I would recommend to see a Doctor.

44 years old woman.Took me 50 days to go from broken Tibia and fibula break to not needing my boot.Had a rod put in with nails on day 2 of break no cast.Naproxen was my go to for pain relief.Tensor bandages are still needed just for support but I don't really walk too much differently at this point I am about 90% healed.I thought it would take much much more time to heal.I am also immuncompromised on biological medication.I have crohns disease.I would suggest buying some muscle rubs for the leg.Elevate leg nightly still at this point.Epsom salt baths are good.Make sure to take vitamin D and calcium every day!
How do you get in to a bathtub??
@@lindaguida4074 I have been just getting in by day 50 I was able to do most things without worrying as much after my 2nd follow up I stopped using my boot.I am basically at this point 80% healed.
Just broke my fibula last week and it completely disabled me from doing anything just want to go back to normal again in Jesus name I pray 🙏
How's it coming along now? My son broke his tibia and fibula Friday night at out ice hockey practice
I fill u :)
@@nameandaddress fractured my tibia from landing wrong in football. Luckily it wasn’t serious of a fracture to require surgery. I got a cast and ace wrap to reduce swelling for treatment. First couple of days will be brutal. Once you get through the first week, pain isn’t as bad. Going through second week right now.
@@kxst2385 i fractured my fibula a few days ago so I'm still in my first week. Those first few days are so hard, but its getting better! Good luck healing.
@@nameandaddress I broke my fibula and tibia 6 weeks ago, and I have to say that after I got my cast off, I'm in more pain now than I was when the cast was on.. The doctor said that I would have discomfort and that walking and exercising the area would help with the pain and swelling, but my ankle has swollen to the size of a soft ball and it feels like I have really bad bruising all over my leg. Resting hurts more than walking on it.
I hope your son doesn't have to deal with that.

Hi
Could you maybe go in depth as to which resources each stage needs for optimal repair?
We've got a kitten (9months) healing post operation of a comminuted femoral fracture and I want him to heal as good as possible. Which foods do i need to give, should I introduce more cat milk in his diet for increased calcium intake? Any vitamins or other supplements which would make sure each stage would go perfectly?
Bless your ❤️ How's your kitten now?
Broke a clavicle (collarbone) and I’m on week two! I can finally move my arm without as much pain but the giant lump of bone rebuilding is so noticeable 😂
Power to you man! I broke my leg finger on week 2 I believe soft callus is formed and I feel almost 0 pain now…..
Let me know what your attitude is three years from the break, four surgeries, still can’t walk and two weeks ago fell getting out of bed and have a closed tibial plateau fracture. I’m getting weaker and weaker. If the X-ray tomorrow shows minimal healing from so much bone loss, I’m going to…yeah, count your blessings, people, it could be a lot worse.

Hi, I'm 50 this yr.. I fell from height at work and had facture at 6 places.. both side hip, both thigh, both knee.. 6 implants. It's going 2 yrs in 3 months, all are healing well even removed the implants in my knee.. BUT, both my thigh (femur) were not healing. Did total 5 surgeries on both my femur.. first subsequent surgery was due to implants slippage, second was bone graft to help healing (failed), third was putting the fractured bones nearer to help healing ( cause tremendous pain when walking, failed), fourth was to switch out old implants for so called bigger implants to help healing, (cause even more pain at more places, again failed).. I did physical therapy thru out the yrs but always disappointed with the x-ray results.. Does anyone knows if my femur bones will fully heal even after such long time?? Or anything at all that might help my recovery.. Thank!
snapped my collarbone two days ago, needed reassurance

Fractures Healing is from Almighty Allah ❤
Hello Dear Sir,
Sir my tibial implant was done 22 months ago. screw infection was occured, 3 months post operation, at distal end.
A screw itself came out after 6 months of surgery due to infection. and other one was removed by surgery, the infection went away and came from time to time, it was controlled by using antibiotics, pus and blood come out from the screw point uptill now. Doctor said that nail must be removed now, but may be this infection does appear after nail removal also!! what would be the appropriate way to eliminate the infection completly? Please suggest me best possible solutions! Thank you.

Thanks for this video it is really helpful I am studying anatomy for vet nursing and finding it a challenge you channel is great. Do you have any on membraneous and endochondral bone formation it is something I am stuck on. Thanks heaps.

I broke an elbow .
All they did was splint it up.
Watching and wondering if a cast was required. Will it heal with nothing on
The human body is miraculous!
Does this work for ankle fracture as well i.e fibula/tibula joint?
Yeah it works l.if you were injured then say how you are right now,I am asking because I got tibia fracture a week ago
Is it faster with the distal phalanx?
Bony callus looks like swelling to most people. I have a boxer’s fracture that is probably in the remodeling phase. My knuckle looks bigger than normal. What can I reasonably expect as far as the original bone integrity? Going into nursing next year and dealing with this was a good review of this process. Thanks in advance
I have a boxer's fracture 3 weeks ago and it deosnt semms healing on x-rays
Can you explain
@@jimmysmithjr.1820 it’s healing. It just takes a long time. Go to a doctor so they can put your hand I. The right splint. That is very important or it won’t heal right. It took about 4 months for it to fully heal
@@jammyjamz89 I removed the cast and I can move it
It's hurt sometimes
@@jammyjamz89 what if it doesn’t heal right? Can remodeling phase fix that issue? Since the remodeling takes away all the excess bone!
@@oguzsozer8347 it can. But it’s never perfect. I’m guessing you are feeling what I’m feeling. I was on these message boards a long time and no one responded. My knuckle still feels “larger” and achy. And this happened last September so I’m hoping it gets even more better than it has. But for the most part my hand function is back to normal and the aches I feel are very very small. This may be due to the disfigurement that it suffers but mostly boxers fractures heal just fine “for all intensive purposes of course. Maybe in another year it will look more like it used too! The hard part is seeing it seem larger or different. Unfortunately this may just be the way it will look for me. But my report is that my hand function is not hindered once so ever. And yours should be the same way if you wear the splint the way your were instructed. That being said just give it time. A lot of time actually. It will never be the same but if you worry about hand use for home or work I would worry unless u needed screw and surgery. I didn’t but it was bad. Any other questions I will try to answer don’t worry so much

My 2nd metatarasl bone fracture how many days will take to heal
broke my pinky about two weeks ago and had surgery 2 days ago. it hurts so damn much
A stupid question but does the broken bone become longer than before since there appears to be bone created in the gap of the fracture? I am approaching my 5th week since a car hit me and broke my tibia right in the middle. Luckily, I didnt have to operate since the fracture was very well aligned, which apparently only occurs in 10% of similar case. The doctors approximated the healing time in leg cast to at least 16 weeks and probably even longer for it to fully rehabilitate, which totally blows. Since I live in Sweden, I get squat in monetary compensation. Apart from my ordinary salary which I would have received for any health related absence from my job, I ONLY get about 300 USD a month in reparation from the guy who hit me (100% his fault; it happened on a crosswalk when ran against red light). That is like one day of overtime at my current job.
Very sorry, hope you getting better now

Hi Dr. Not a medical student here, just really concern why my bone callus still hasn’t gone away after 3 years. I injured my right feet 3 years ago and a non painful bump is still there. If i may ask, do you know why?
I believe you may have a bone spur, and they can sometimes form after a bone fracture, but I would urge you to go to a medical professional so they can diagnose it as I may not be correct. It's not life threatening but will not go away without a surgical procedure. I have attached an article with a bit more information. www.healthline.com/health/bone-spur-on-top-of-foot
Hope this helps :))
@@Ella_02 can bone spur be viewed in x-ray? Because i did a few months ago and it came out normal. the doctor did acknowledge the bump on my foot but he don’t know what it is. It’s worrying, really

Thanks for this. I broke my arm right below the elbow 4 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago my arm was repositioned and recasted. Today my cast was taken off. Mobility is very limited and i am a bit scared.

Got the same problem only I got a brace to move my arm and got surgery as well 😭😭
Displaced fracture while arm wrestling here. I fractured my homerus right to the elbow, got surgery and placed a metal plate in 6 July. My mobility was shit but after 5 days of physiotherapy i got the full extension back and in 10 days the full mobility. Now it's 29 October, in 5th of October i did the visit with my doctor and did the x ray scan. He said that the fracture was clinically healed, but I have to wait again till my bone gets remodelled. He said that fracture heals completely after 6-12 months. So in 30 December I'll have another check and see if I healed completely and then finally i can start working out again. Then the next year I'll take out the metal plate from my arm ( idc about scars they become white after a while and once they are healed are badass too, I just want to feel good).
I'm training Right now just legs i went from a 70 kg squat to a 125 in just 2 and half months. I'm excited for the day till i start working out on my upper body too. Hope it will happen asap..

I'm on week 6 of a fibula / tibia break.. and my cast came off, my ankle has swollen to the size of a soft ball and I'm wondering when this.. deep tissue bruising feeling is going to go away. The doctor told me to stay off it for the first 3 days and then to start walking when I'm comfortable.. but walking doesn't cause pain.. resting afterwards does. :( Nothing seems to be helping my sore limb except sleep.. Any one else experiencing this?
Sup man. Im a junior in hs and broke my tib and fib August 27th in a soccer game. I've had 3 surgeries due to a hematoma exploding and also a staph infection. My infection is being treated effectively and my skin on my tibia side is starting to heal nicely. (My fibula side has had no complications but my tibia side is the one that has opened up and needed to be re-stitched) Throughout this whole process I my bone has been healing well and the only swelling I have is around my break near the ankle (the swelling is not very severe). I have yet to walk on it yet and will probably start in late November or early December (around week 12). My surgeon told me that once I get on my feet again I will experience a lot of swelling and discomfort. I would not worry to much about it. Im not sure when you start PT but that will definitely help with swelling. Good luck in the future man!
Hey Soli, I was involved in a bicycle road race seven months ago in Show Low, AZ. A truck t-boned a group of us at over 50 mph. He killed one and severely injured several of us.

Don't rush anything. When you're ready, you'll be ready.
I broke tib and fib, had IR fitted in both. First two weeks couldn't walk then slowly started to be able to move about (hobble) again. Took one month after surgery to slowly limp about and then fifth week light weight bearing.
Sixth week was 70% weight bearing now its physio to walk properly again and strengthen leg muscles.
Its a long road of normally 3/4 months
