How long does a stress fracture in the foot take to heal?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
6-8 weeks: It takes time for the fracture to heal and 6-8 weeks is a reasonable estimate some take longer based on age, nutritional status and type and location of the fracture.

Depends: It would be good to know which bone was fractured. In general it takes 6-8 weeks to heal depending on treatment.
