How long after knee repalcement does it heal?
You need as much as you can get...really, the more you move the new knee the better it will serve you. A physical therapist can help you with the rehab in the hospital & after you are out. It takes a good couple months to get to the full bend mode, it is slow recovery for most...although some people breeze through. It takes almost a full year before you feel the new knee is your own. I had my right knee done 14 mos. ago and just last month had my left knee done. I would recommend doing the knees at time apart so you can use one leg to get to the bathroom & into the shower seat, etc.
You have to keep the muscles in shape to support your new knee.
I might add that after surgery, the muscles tune out for awhile & it is important to start movement asap.

What is the average healing time for a broken bone?
This is not an easy question to answer since it depends on many factors. But in general a canine broken leg will require 6-8 weeks to heal and could take as long as several months for the animal to return to its normal level of activity. But it has to be set correctly by someone with access to a xray machine who can interpret the results of the xray. A licensed vet is your best bet. Once the bone is set correctly it is very important to restrict the dogs activity in the first few weeks of the break. Essentially, potty breaks are the only activity in which the dog should be moving around and this should be only on a leash with no stairs involved. Otherwise strict crate rest is the best way to ensure the bone will heal correctly. If any of the previous instructions are not followed the dog could ultimately end up crippled. Additionally, the bone could heal in a way that restricts blood flow to the area of the break and lead to the necessity to amputate the leg.

A Colle's fracture is a fracture of the distal radius.
The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm (the other is the ulna). The radius is the bone that begins at the outside ("lateral" side) of the elbow and ends at the wrist joint, on the "thumb" side of the wrist.
"Distal" means that the fracture occurs at the part of the radius that is relatively further from the center of the body, i.e. at the wrist. So in plain English, a Colle's fracture is a broken bone near the wrist, on the "thumb" side.

How do you tell if you broke your wrist i can still use it and my fingers is it broken?
The only way to be certain is to have it x-rayed. There are lots of small bones in the wrist, and you might have cracked one or more. It would still be usable, but painful.
There are clues to this kind of break. Does it hurt more when you move it a certain way? Is there a good bit of swelling? Both would be signs.
If you're tying not to waste a hospital trip, reduce any swelling with a cold compress (NOT heat, which promotes swelling) and immobilize it for 18-24 hours. If it isn't a lot less painful by then, you probably DID break something, and should have a doctor take a look.
