Patient's question:
I was pushed down the hill, not only suffering from multiple soft tissue bruises all over my body, but also breaking my tibia in my thigh. Two steel plates were installed inside. It will take a year to remove the plates. Is the recovery period for tibia fractures always long? Can drinking a lot of bone broth help the bones gradually heal?Doctor's answer:
Rehabilitation from a tibial fracture may take three to twelve months. During the gradual recovery period, drink more bone broth, supplement with appropriate amounts of calcium, avoid overexertion, prevent frequent sitting work, and do not frequently live in a damp environment. Get adequate sun exposure, avoid staying up late, maintain a cheerful mood, and have regular follow-up X-rays of the local area. Ensure that urination and defecation remain smooth.
