You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This depends on the type of fracture you have, where in the body it is located, and how severe it was. If it is a simple fracture, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal. If it is a more complex fracture including a fracture that required surgical repair, it will take longer. Children tend to heal the fastest, while the elderly take longer.
