A thigh strain or quadriceps strain is a tear in one of the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh. It can range from a mild discomfort to a full blown tear of most of the muscle resulting in severe pain and inability to walk.
The breakage of the stitches starts within 2 weeks of the stitching but if you want the complete stitches to disappear then the process of hydrolysis or the enzymes in our body do that in a period of 60 days and therefore it approximately takes up to 2 months for the stitches to get dissolved.
Not the same situation but I've had stitches for oral dentistry and it took less then two weeks for external stitches to go away....and my pet went thru surgery and it took just a couple of weeks for her outward stitches to go away. So I'd think yours would go away in a week or two. sophieb Â· 9 years ago.Thumbs up. 0.eport Abuse. Probably around a week, maybe two. My mom just had some minor surgery and they said her stitches would take about 5 days to dissolve. I don't know if they all work the same way.
