Sternum Fractures?


My sterman was fractured as a result of a car accident and they said it is an oblique fracture. I am curious to see if anyone knows how long these things take to fully heal and quit moving since they are fractured when you move the wrong way.

3 to 4 wks for a young person, longer for an older person.
