Does broken bones heal when in a coma?
I gotta know if broken bones heal when a person is in a coma. Does it take longer to heal or does it even heal at all?
Broken bones will still heal in a coma. All the natural body process’s continue the person just is not conscious (awake). So their bones will heal just the same at the same speed, etc. They may even have the added benefit of not moving a lot and hindering the healing process.
