Don't you need a full hundred days to recover from injuries to muscles and bones?

It is not necessary to rest for exactly one hundred days after bone or soft tissue injuries. This saying mainly reflects the general time required for bone fracture healing, which actually varies depending on individual conditions. Healing does not literally require a full 100 days—some patients with ligament injuries of the joints may need about two months of rest; others may require around three months, while those with more severe conditions might need even longer recovery periods.

The expression "hundred days for broken bones and injured tissues" generally refers to the approximate recovery time following skeletal or soft tissue damage. After a fracture occurs, typical clinical symptoms include local pain, swelling, deformity, and restricted movement. Following treatment, a certain period of rest is needed for healing, with duration depending on the severity of the injury.

After fractures or injuries to joint ligaments and soft tissues, patients should visit a hospital for imaging examinations such as X-ray, CT, or MRI to assess the severity and type of fracture. For stable fractures, treatment usually involves manual reduction and immobilization with a cast. Unstable fractures often require surgical intervention to restore bone continuity. Regardless of whether surgery is performed or not, recovery and healing typically take two to three months.
