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.
Thread: Dissolvable stitches that didn't dissolve. It's been a little over a month since my 9 extractions. My stitches, which my dentist said would dissolve, haven't. They are coming apart and threads are hanging and really bugging the heck out of me. I have a dentist appointment on Friday so he can check it out.
