How To Treat Fractured Ankle Bone Caused Due To Injury In An Elderly Person?
My husband fractured his ankle because his bone are weak it is not healing. When he fell it was like egg shell brake and they had to put it back together with screws and a plate. How can can he start building up calcium around his brake so it can began to heal. He is 70 years old and is taking vitamin d for about 2 years.

Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Sorry about the incident ! Regarding your husband experience of poorly healed ankle fracture following a fall I am suggesting strongly that let him wear a Pop cast constructed in the form a boot
Furthermore let him start taking food containing calcium as well as calcium supplements as well the previous drug prescription
I hope this helps
