The subsequent rate of gain in wound tensile strength is slow, with the wound having gained only 20% of its final strength after 3 weeks. The final strength of the wound remains less than that of uninjured skin, with the maximum breaking strength of the scar reaching only 70% of that of the intact skin [34].
Injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, blood vessels and nerves may be more important than the broken bone. This is particularly true of femur fractures. The force needed to break the thigh bone often causes a lot of damage to the other structures in the thigh. An open fracture in which the bone comes out through the skin is an especially severe problem.
