Four years ago I fell from a ladder and shattered my Talus bone into about eighteen recognizable pieces. Recovery time for the normal Talus fracture ranges from eight to twelve weeks. However, with a severe fracture like mine was comes AVN. Avascular Neucrosis. Excuse my spelling. AVN occurs when the Talus' blood supply has been so traumatized that it removes itself for a time, causing a dead bone. Usually the blood supply will replace itself and grow back into the bone. The time span for recovering from AVN is actually the most extensive part of recovering from a Talus fracture. Regrowth of the vascular supply ranges from six months to eighteen months depending on the case. There are machines available which speed the vascular systems regrowth. Exogen is the unit that I was able to get. January 21, 2004 was the date I broke my Talus, and I took my first steps on a uncasted foot on August 20, 2004. Many doctors will say that a Talus fracture is one of the most devastating breaks to the leg or ankle. Its no fun and will continue to hurt for life.

Why would you need a control when experimenting on people?

A control group is essential in experiments involving people to measure the effect of the treatment by comparing it to a group that does not receive the treatment. This helps ensure that any changes observed are actually due to the treatment being tested and not other factors. Controls help to minimize bias and increase the reliability of the results.

Why would someone need oxygen for medical treatment or support?

Oxygen is needed for medical treatment or support when a person's body is not getting enough oxygen on its own. This can happen due to conditions like lung disease, heart failure, or during certain medical procedures. Providing supplemental oxygen helps ensure that the body's organs and tissues receive the oxygen they need to function properly.

What is the difference in a fractured bone and a broken bone?

A cracked rib is only partially broken; the rib is still mostly intact and able to do its job, and doesn't need (or have) any special treatment except not doing what cracked it in the first place. A broken rib is more dangerous, as there are two loose ends floating around that may pierce internal organs and do a lot more damage to you. It requires medical attention to ensure this does not happen, but there is not much more that can be done than keep an eye on it.

It depends on where the fracture is. 1. Upper 1/4 th portion -- An important nerve called peroneal nerve may be injured. 2. Middle portion -- Usually safe to leave alone if tibia is not broken. 3. Lower 1/4th portion -- Almost always treated by plaster or surgery. You need to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for best advice as it is impossible to give an ideal treatment without looking at the xray.
