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.
Removing Stitches Preparation. If a person has received stitches, they should be given instructions for taking care of the stitches and wound, and be given an approximate date to have the stitches removed. Keep wound clean and dry for the first 24 hours. Showering is allowed after 48 hours, but do not soak the wound. Bandages can safely be removed from the wound after 48 hours, unless the wound continues to bleed or has a discharge. If bandages are kept in place and get wet, the wet bandage should be replaced with a clean dry bandage.
