How long does it take for a bone to regrow I fell from a laddder causing an open fracture and lost about an inch of my fibula on impact. I also broke my tibia and inside ankle on right foot?

All I know is that gotta hurt and it will take quite a long time. Maybe more than 5 months

What type of fracture shatters the bone?
A fracture that shatters the bone is called a comminuted fracture. A direct impact can shatter bone into several fragments or pieces. This type of fracture is likely to occur in a road traffic accident.
Describe the microscopic features of osseous tissue that help long bones withstand lateral stress without breaking?
A lateral stress placed on a bone (e.g. on Nicole's left tibia and fibula) actually causes (A) compression of the bone on the side of impact and (B) stretching (tearing) on the side opposite of the impact.
What are the three types of bone injuries?
There are two main catorgories of fractures. Complete and incomplete. A complete fracture is what we would usually refer to as a break (but that is not a medical term). An incomplete fracture is a hairline fracture, when the bone is cracked or patially broken. Another incomplete fracture is a greenstick, when the bone is broken on one side causing it to bend. Some coplete fractures are the simple fracture, where the bone is broken into two, straight across. Then the oblique fracture is very similar except it is broken on an angle. The spiral fracture is broken on an angle the twisted. Compound fracture is when the bone breaks through the skin. The comminuted fracture is a multi-fragmentary fracture.
Why is the clavicle at risk to fracture when a person falls on her shoulder?
The best way to understand this is to look at a skeleton. YOu can see how the head of the humerus anchors right into the clavicle. Press gently on the head of the humerus parallel to the floor and note the pressure the condial exerts in that direction, and the tendency for the clavicle to move, thus indicating it too is being pressed upon. As these bones are in contact, impact is transmitted from one to the other, thus creating a potential for fracture.
Could you have fractured a rib through being hit and not just a car accident or fall?
Of course you can, it doesnt matter where the "impact" came from, weather it is a car, or stairs or someones fist, it can still break or fracture your ribs. If someone is hitting you, there is no excuse for it, and I advise you to seek professional help such as the police or a counselor or whatever, but you should not just leave yourself in a situation where someone is hitting you...its never acceptable.
What is a Blowout fracture?
A fracture or break in the orbit that is caused by sudden and violent impact to the area
What cause s the fracture in the ground?
An impact.
Is a compound fracture a fracture where the bone is broken into many fragments?
depends on the point of impact and the speeed but no it does not always result in a compound fracture
How do you calculate fracture toughness from impact energy through impact test?
Impact test gives toughness value which is energy absorbed by material per unit volume.. From test like charpy test value of energy absorbed by the specimen can be calculated directly by getting the height of pendulum after impact.... whereas fracture toughness is totally different subject which comes into picture after formation of crack in the material. Methods of calculation of fracture toughness depends upon the type of material (brittle or ductile). Resistance curve is used to find the fracture toughness.
What type of fracture shatters the bone?

What type of bone fracture is associated with chronic and excessive impact?
Pretty sure its a stress facture.
What is the significance of the Charpy V-Notch Test?
It shows the fracture toughness of materials. higher the brittleness lower the fracture toughness and also lower will be the impact value and vice verse.
What type of injury Occur largely in the feet and legs are common in sports that repetitive impact?
Stress fracture
Describes a mineral's response to mechanical impact?
The mineral would either cleave on planes of weakness, or fracture.
What has the author R Phaal written?
R. Phaal has written: 'Correlations between fracture toughness and Charpy impact energy'
What is the purpose of samples of impact test being notched?
In a charpy impact test, the purpose of the notch is to provide a point of fracture at the same point for each material, to make it a fair test.
