I broke my leg when I was 6, I'm 20 now. I haven't had any problems with my leg so far but I haven't really been active enough to notice. If I start a sport like Football or Basketball what are the chances my leg will give me problems and I won't be able to play at my 'best'?

well.

When you break a leg it never actually repairs itself. What it does is bridge the break with ligaments and muscle.

I mean look at bone, how can bone grow or repair itself it's fucking bone.

So yes if you start doing a lot of heavy work on the leg you will injure yourself again tearing the connectors.

If bone doesn't grow, how the hell do people get taller?

OP, don't listen to>>38083. Bone does grow and repair itself. You won't have a lot of problems but you're most likely going to have arthritis.

Contrary to what people may think, bone is not dead material. It is alive, constantly breaking itself down and rebuilding when your body changes (i.e. you gain 10 pounds, your bones will compensate so it can still support you).

I think 14 years is long enough to stop from exercising. Sounds like your looking for excuses not to do anything. I broke my leg when 11 and have never had any problems. Unless you were in traction for months on end and had to have dozens of operations, I'd say your in the clear.

Guess what. Your broken leg is actually stronger than your healthy leg because your bones apply more tissue than it needs to repair your leg.

troll's.

BONE IS ALIVE mirite?

Is that why it doesn't decompose?

Look at fucking skeletons the bones are brittle stones and the rest of the body has decomposed away. What living material doesn't decompose?

Absolutely. Old bones are dead, dry and brittle. But in the body, bones are very much alive. They have their own nerves and blood vessels, and they do various jobs, such as storing body minerals like calcium. Bones are made of a mix of hard stuff that gives them strength and tons of living cells which help them grow and repair themselves.

Bone is alive. The very fact that our bones become denser due to changes in our lifestyle is evidence that it's alive.

For example, if you went from being a scrawny geeky kid to being fit and very muscular, your bones would become stronger and more dense as the rest of your body changes. Bone lives.

Hold on now. Take it easy. Not for the sake of your leg, but simply because you've been sedentary for years. Take it slow, work your way up.

What would happen to your bones if you went from being super fat (The kind of fat you see on dr. phil) to a muscle-freak?

I don't know if much would happen. Really fat people (as far as I know) already have really dense bones because of their fatness. So, there might not be much of a change.
