Be sure your child is getting enough calcium to decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis (a condition that also causes the bones to be more fragile and likely to break) later in life. Also, don't forget to motivate kids to get involved in regular physical activities and exercise, which are very important to bone health. Weight-bearing exercises such as jumping rope, jogging, and walking can also help develop and maintain strong bones.

Broken bones heal at different rates, depending on the age of the child and the type of fracture. Young children can heal as quickly as 3 weeks, while it may take as long as 6 weeks for the same kind of fracture to heal in teens.

Another disease that can cause problems with healing is osteo imperfecta or brittle bone syndrome. This condition tends to be most common in children during growth spurts, and they quite easily break bones with even the slightest of injuries.

dang.. 6 weeks ey..
I dont think i have osteoporosis. hah.
Osteo imperfecta?

So.. minal movement.
Haiya.. Heal soon Finger.. =)


OH DANG!

Some of these recommendations may be controversial, or unknown the extent to which they affect bone healing. However, this much is clear. Patients who smoke, have a much longer average time to healing, and a much higher risk of developing a nonunion (non-healing of the bone). Smoking alters the blood flow to bone, and it is that blood flow that delivers the necessary nutrients and cells to allow the bone to heal.


Stop soon Museey!!!
Mati eh...
