6 Stages of fracture healing in runners explained

from Doc On The Run Podcast · host Dr. Christopher Segler

Every runner with a stress fracture wants to know "when can I run?"  How soon you can start running after a foot fracture really depends on when you have enough strength in the bone so that the healing fracture will withstand the forces applied during running without breaking the bone again. It all depends on what you do to speed up (or slow down) the bone healing process. The rate of fracture healing depends on your physiology, and it depends on stages of bone healing. But it does NOT depend entirely on generic timelines. How long is each stage of fracture healing when you have a broken bone? Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
