Yep. Constant brokage on something is giong to wear down over time.
Like if you keep breaking a pencil or cracking it and taping it, no matter how many times you super glue it or stuff, it's going to be prone to be broken more often.
This is not true. Once the bone is completely healed it is as strong as before or even stronger. The healing process of a bone has different phases and even after the cast is taken off it is still healing.
Usually the cast is removed when the strength of the broken bone is about 50-60%. For the recovery it′s important that the some pressure is put on the broken bone so that it can get it′s whole strength. This is the reason why walking casts are used. You can put some pressure on the broken bone without any risk to break it again.
Please follow the instructions the doctor gives you. Don′t take the cast off too early, this can cause a partial break in the fracture and weakening it.
Wish you a fast recovery
Well to an extent, yes, especially if it isn't completely healed... the break is a weakness in the bone you created from damage, make sure you got proper treatment and the bone was realigned properly. After it's done healing I wouldn't worry too much about it, but I might try to avoid whatever craziness it was that caused you to break it in the first place.
The fractures you've probably heard about where it never heals completely are the real severe ones where bones get broken in dozens of pieces or more, those can be pretty bad but I wouldn't worry about a couple simple fractures over the long term.
Hello Taya,
I broke my leg while playing rugby in december, and I had a cast like yours (almost up to the hip, am I right?). Well, once your bone is healed, it develops a callused area where it was broken, which is in fact stronger than the previous bone! You don't need to worry about your leg, just keep it safe and listen to your consultant. I hope this helps!
