How to get cured from tibia fracture with food nutrients?
Patient: my wife is gone for tibia bone fracture on left leg on 25.04.2012 & got surgery on 30.04.2012. now she started walking with walker but due to poor bone density & feeling pain while walking she is very much depressed. so how long she will take to recover. what nutrient or food help us in recovering from the injury Doctor: Hello,  As it looks that the mineralisation of the bone is too weak. Having good milk and milk products in a day and taking sunbath will be useful. As both calcium and vitamin D is needed for bones to become stronger post-surgery. Also, I think that the surgeon who operated must have provided some Vitamin D3 supplement along with the calcium supplement to help boost the healing.  I will even advice to start doing some simple exercise for the upper limbs, core and sound limb. So once she starts going to walk, it should be comfortable and confident. Also, exercise will help her not put on too much weight post surgery.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
