Are Broken Bones Stronger After They Heal?

The video debunks the myth that bones become stronger after healing from a fracture. It explains the bone healing process, including the formation of a soft and then hard callus, which may temporarily be stronger due to its size. However, this strength is not permanent, and the remodeled bone is typically as strong as the original. The video also discusses factors that may lead to re-fracture, such as inactivity during healing, and emphasizes that regular exercise can strengthen bones by promoting mineral density.
