Recovery time varies based on the severity and location of the fracture, but most patients need several weeks to months of rehabilitation to regain strength and function.

Yes. Physical therapy is a crucial part of the recovery process. It helps restore mobility, improve strength, and reduce stiffness after the bone has been stabilized.

If left untreated or improperly managed, complex fractures can lead to chronic pain, joint deformity, limited mobility, or long-term complications such as non-union or infection.
