How Much Time Will It Take For Complete Calcification Of Broken Bone?
I have a femur shaft fracture in my right leg and had undergone IM nailing in Dec 2013. Although my calcium intake has been high but callus formation has been slow and bone has not completely healed yet. About how much time does it take for complete calcification of broken bone...
