Hairline fracture on right leg

2017-04-21 06:20:08
I have fallen down a slope and got a hairline fracture on right leg. Doctor has put a fibre bandage on leg. The bandage is pretty loose. It's been one week that I have the fracture. Is it possible to use a crepe bandage and manage going to work? If not then how many days do i need for bed rest​?

Hi thanks for query If there is Fracture it's better to continue with plaster. If the plaster is loose consult your doctor for reapplication. Fractures need some sort of plaster support till they heal. Supposedly hairline Fracture will start healing by 4 to 6weeks.
Health Tips
Rest and not to put weight on plaster
