A member asked:
Can you tell me when can i walk again after an ankle/leg fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
On average 6-8 weeks: Bone healing usually takes 6-8 weeks depending on the type of fracture. Each person has a different healing potential depending on age and overall health. An x-ray may be needed to be taken to see if you fracture is healed enough for you to be able to bear weight on it. Have it evaluated.
