For a hairline ankle fracture how much time should you take off work?

Depends what you: Do and what part of the bone....Also, i'f they would allow you to work with a cam walker boot as this may be a possibility.

Depends what you do: If you are on your feet more, this could be more problematic. If you could work with a cam boot on, that may work. Stress fractures take about 6 weeks to heal.
