Depending on the location of the stress fracture, the severity of the fracture and the amount of local circulation, I've seen them drag on for a couple or 3 months, in various stages of healing.
Depends on a variety of things. Firstly, the location of the fracture. Some bones have greater access to nutrients (ie. closer to a blood supply) than others and will the rates of healing will reflect this. Secondly, one must look at the severity of the fracture. More damage will take longer to heal.
== == In a healthy child or adult the normal healing time is usually 6 to 8 weeks.
A stress fracture can take up to 2 months to completely heal. It really depends on where it is at since a fracture in the arm will heal more quickly than one in the leg.
My daughter is 11 and had stress fracture of lower arm. With wrist brace on, complete healing time was 5 weeks.
The amount of time it takes for a stress fracture in a foot to heal depends on severity and how you're treating it. Healing time can take between 4 and 8 weeks.
Yes.
aircasts can be used on sprains or even stress fractures. They help it to heal properly and reduce the amount of stress put on it. aircasts can be used on sprains or even stress fractures. They help it to heal properly and reduce the amount of stress put on it.
which can cause a stress fracture
no, the arms mend faster

Stress fractures are especially common in ballet dancers, long-distance runners, and in people whose bones are thin.
Six to eight weeks. Depends on the fracture.
2 weeks
Stress fractures
Stress fractures can be treated by non-surgical, but your have to rest and limited physical activity, that involved foot and ankle. If children or adults return to the activity too quickly, this will cause the fracture to heal more slower than it is suppose to. Other fractures depends on how bad it is.
It's for the treatment of tibial stress fractures.
Open and closed are the two main categories, depending on whether the broken bone protrudes through the skin. After that, there are greenstick breaks, stress fractures, impacted fractures, pathological fractures, spiral fractures, comminuted fractures, and epiphyseal fractures. That's about it.
