[|AI|]  Here you need to know if it's a normal fracture with just a cut in bone it takes 1 month to heal, if there is cut with segmental fracture where the fracture piece is not in touch with bone above and bone below then it takes 2-3 months time to heal. But if there is segmental fracture along with crushed bone pieces then it takes 4-6 month time to heal. Now here you need to see which kind of fracture you are having along with this age as well your diet and calcium with vitamin D tablets also matter a lot for healing. Here you have informed some doctors have suggested for bone grafting and some doctors have suggested to wait. I suggest if your fracture is healing and is better than what it was before after few months on x-ray then Don't worry it will be all right. It may take some time. You need to have good enough of calcium with vitamin D in diet as well as supplement. But if there is no healing sign even after 3-4 month, and it is still as it is meaning you can try with calcium and vitamin D supplement for 2 months and see later on x-ray. Or else you can go ahead for surgery that is bone grafting. If it's paining too much then make sure there is no infection as well no displacement of implant. And you can keep using hot and cold pack for some more relief. I have given you here general guideline, but I am sure this will be useful for you. Take care.
