Patient's question:
Before, I was working on a construction site and accidentally fell from the third floor, resulting in a femoral shaft fracture. At the time, I went to the hospital for treatment, and after that, I gradually recovered. However, now four months have passed, and the femoral shaft fracture has not yet healed. I still feel pain when walking. It has been more than four and a half months since the femoral shaft fracture, but how much longer will it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
The fracture of the femoral shaft has been more than four months now. Generally, it takes about a year to fully recover. Acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal steam baths can be applied. At the same time, it is important to coordinate with a professional physical therapist to perform activity rehabilitation and functional training. In daily life, you can eat more fresh beef, eggs, milk, shrimp, and other high-calcium, high-protein foods. Avoid overexertion and prolonged standing, and pay attention to rest.
