Fracture healing mainly relies on immobilisation and alignment. It allows bone cells to lay down and join the fracture sites.

It depends on the recommendation of GP or specialist. If not indicated, our physiotherapist will assess your gait and provide you with suitable assistive equipment. We will adjust the crutches to suit your height.

The healing time for a fracture can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type and location of the fracture, the individual's age and overall health, and the treatment provided. In general, fractures may take several weeks to several months to heal. Minor fractures or hairline fractures may take a few weeks to heal, while more severe fractures that require surgical intervention or the use of external devices like casts or braces may take longer. It's crucial to follow the guidance of your physiotherapist and attend follow-up appointments to monitor the healing progress.

Gait training is crucial after a fracture for several reasons: 1. Restoration of Normal Walking Pattern: Fractures can lead to altered walking patterns to compensate for pain or limitations. Gait training helps restore a natural and efficient walking pattern, promoting a smoother recovery. 2. Prevention of Complications: Prolonged altered gait can contribute to secondary issues such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and imbalance. Gait training helps prevent these complications by addressing and correcting abnormal walking mechanics. 3. Reduced Risk of Recurrence: Proper gait training can reduce the risk of future fractures by addressing underlying biomechanical issues or weaknesses that may have contributed to the initial injury. 4. Improved Mobility and Independence: Gait training enhances overall mobility and helps individuals regain independence in daily activities. It is particularly important for individuals with fractures, as it facilitates a faster return to normal functioning. 5. Muscle Strength and Endurance: Gait training involves targeted exercises to strengthen muscles involved in walking. This helps prevent muscle atrophy, promotes muscle endurance, and contributes to overall rehabilitation. 6. Enhanced Psychological Well-being: Regaining the ability to walk normally can have a positive impact on an individual's mental well-being. Gait training contributes to the restoration of confidence and a sense of normalcy. 7. Optimal Bone Healing: Walking in a manner that promotes proper weight distribution and minimizes stress on the healing bone is essential for optimal bone healing. Gait training ensures that the individual walks in a way that supports the healing process.
