3-4 months: Really depends on fracture pattern and where the fracture is. Fractures about the hip heal in 3 months. Shaft fracture depend on the pattern. Open or closed injury? Open generally takes longer to heal. Many pieces increase fracture healing time. Do you smoke? Add more time to healing and possibly face a nonunion. How well was it put back together? Perfect=less healing time. Avg time 20 -30 weeks.
