Depending on the location of the stress fracture, the severity of the fracture and the amount of local circulation, I've seen them drag on for a couple or 3 months, in various stages of healing.

Can a fracture heal in less than 2 weeks or 2 weeks exactly?

Yes, some fractures can heal in less than two weeks, particularly minor or hairline fractures, as well as certain types of children’s fractures, which often heal more quickly due to their growing bones. Factors such as the type of fracture, the age and health of the individual, and the treatment method can influence healing time. However, most fractures typically take longer than two weeks to heal completely. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment plans.


Why foot stress fractures do not heal?

Foot stress fractures may fail to heal due to several factors, including inadequate blood supply to the affected area, persistent mechanical load or stress on the bone, and underlying health conditions such as osteoporosis. Additionally, insufficient rest or improper treatment can hinder the healing process. If the patient continues to engage in activities that exacerbate the injury, the fracture may not have the opportunity to properly heal. In some cases, poor nutrition or vitamin deficiencies can also contribute to delayed healing.

How in rock mass the rock stress can affect water flow in fractures?

In rock masses, the stress distribution can significantly influence water flow in fractures. When rock stress increases, it can cause fractures to close or reduce their aperture, impeding water movement. Conversely, if stress decreases, fractures may open, enhancing permeability and allowing for greater water flow. Additionally, the interaction between stress and the orientation of fractures can further complicate flow patterns within the rock mass.
