Can You Break a Bone Twice?

1. Can You Break a Bone Twice? Fractures are common and anyone can experience them. This is one of the orthopedic conditions that is no gender or age bias. Anyone can get a fracture whether he/she is a child, a young adult, or an elderly. There could be multiple reasons for that, while the most common being traumatic injuries. Depending on the type and severity of the cause, a fracture could be stable or displaced. Severe fractures often require the use of Orthopedic Trauma Implants for the stabilization of broken bone fragments while allowing them to heal properly. Now, there is a question of whether the same bone can break twice. This is what we are going to discuss here in detail. There is a myth that once a bone breaks, it becomes stronger and denser when heals. Hence, the chances of fractures to the same bone are negligible. But we must say that this is purely a misconception. There is no scientific evidence that states a bone cannot break twice. Thus, a fracture can occur twice in the same bone, and the reasons could be different as well. Bone Healing Process There are 3 separate phases of bone healing process: The Reactive Phase This is the phase in which the area around the fracture site swells. The healing starts in this phase where a callus is formed by the bone for rebuilding. This phase lasts for around 48 hours.

2. The Reparative Phase Lasts for around 3-4 weeks after the surgery, the reparative phase is when the bone and cartilage form and the gap between broken bone segments reduce. The Remodelling Phase The last and final stage of the bone healing process is the remodeling phase in which the temporary bone is replaced by the permanent bone. This phase lasts the longest and it may range from as low as 3 weeks to as high as 5 years. This depends upon the location, type, and severity of the injury. The age of the patient also plays a vital role in deciding how much time complete bone healing will take. Re-fracture of a bone can take place at any stage and that could be more severe than the previous injury. To avoid such a situation, it is advised to be careful and follow the doctor’s instructions. Some Key Tips to Strengthen Bones and Minimize the Risk of Fractures Weaker bones are highly prone to fractures and more importantly, they take a much longer time to heal.
