Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thigh bone, also known as the femur, is one of the largest and strongest bones in the body. It takes longer to heal because of its size and because it is a weight-bearing bone. Additionally, healing time may be longer in older individuals due to a decrease in bone density and a potential decline in overall health.
