How long does it take for a broken elbow to heal?

3 to 6 general...but... So, depending on the type of fracture and how severe, it could take 3-6 weeks to voercome the initial break and for healing to occur. Although, just like any broken joint, it could take months after that before full strength and flexibility is returned to the joint. Just make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and do physical therepy if perscribed and things should be back to normal/seminormal in 2 months or less..

It all depends on the extent of the injury and how bad you hurt your elbow. No one can give you an exact date but as long as you allow it to rest and do physical therapy it will quicken the recovery process. Html/?

1 There are all sorts of breaks, and some probably take longer to heal than others. I imagine that the age and general health of the subject also plays a role in determining the speed of healing, as does treatment, diet, etc. I broke my elbow in two places in August last year. The back of the elbow was cracked, and a chunk of the bone where the tendon (or maybe it was a ligament) was anchored was literally pulled partly off from the rest of the bone; my arm apparently bent backwards (I was walking across a fast mountain stream with my son, slipped on some rocks and went down on my arm).

I can't remember exactly how long it took to heal; somewhere around two months, I think. I had to do some physical therapy, of course. And it still hurts sometimes.

From my experience, that's normal; there will be occasional pain for a year or more. But as I said, everyone's different.

3 It depends not only on the type of break but also on your age and health. Older folks take longer to heal than younger ones, and folks with other health problems do, too. My mother broke her elbow when I was young.It took her 6 weeks to heal enough that the cast could be removed, and about a year to get back to normal function.

However, some 50 years later she has major arthritis problems in that elbow. A coincidence? Related to the break?

Hard to say.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
