How long does it take for a child's fracture to heal?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine recently encountered this situation and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was a bit in pain and couldn't sleep at night, which greatly affected his state. How many days does it take for a child's fracture to heal?

Doctor's answer:

The ultimate goal of treating fractures is to restore the maximum possible function to the injured limb. Therefore, in fracture treatment, the three basic principles of reduction, fixation, and functional exercise are very important. The occurrence of pediatric fractures severely affects the patient's health. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
