PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most fractures heal in 6-8 weeks, but this varies tremendously from bone to bone and in each person based on many of the factors discussed above. Hand and wrist fractures often heal in 4-6 weeks whereas a tibia fracture may take 20 weeks or more.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a bone breaks or fractures (broken and fractured means exactly the same thing), healing of the bone usually takes a few months to occur. A bone is considered healed or “united” when it is strong enough to allow normal activities. Depending on many factors, this can take as little as 4 weeks or as long as 6 months.

Detailed explanation-3: -Over the next few weeks, the soft callus becomes harder. By about 2–6 weeks, this hard callus is strong enough for the body part to be used. Remodeling Stage: In the last phase, the callus matures and remodels into what we recognize as strong, healthy highly-organized bone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle healing process Skeletal muscle has a robust innate capability for repair after injury through the presence of adult muscle stem cells known as satellite cells (SC).
