Question
true or false? a broken bone wil heal stronger than it was before the break. thank you for taking questions.

Answer
Harry,
Thats really difficult to answer because there are many different types of fractures..there are 7 main types..also it could depend on what bone is broken, health of the person, age etc..
However, the bone does release more calcium to the broken area called callus formation so in theory it should be as strong or stronger than before.
