Hello, The leg fracture treated with intramedullary nail takes some months to heal, so you should be patient. Minimum time is 6 months, but it can go until 12 months depending on the type of fracture. X-rays will confirm the healing process. You should do some physical therapy for the leg and other parts that were bruised. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
